This is an example of a stem and leaf plot. Stem and leaf plots are a form of organizing and compacting data sets. The stem is on the left and where the tens digit goes, and on the leaf side you put the ones digit of the number. The ones are organized in ascending order. This particular plot depicts the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births in Western African countries. The 14 resembles the 140 range, having 144, 147 and 148 deaths in certain countries.
