hello to all. I have a homework assignment where i have to find the mean, median, mode, variance, etc. i did everything except the stem and leaf chart. I know what a stem and leaf chart is but in my home work example i get a little confused on how to do it exactly. This is the data chart.....

Annual Salaries from 21 employees in a company:

$22$32 $47$53 $36$44 $65$53 $53$32 $29$65 $58$47
$27$36 $44$53 $36$47 \$68

now the way i created the MY stem and leaf chart is the following:

employees| stem | leaf
_____________________
3 | 2 | 2 7 9
5 | 3 | 2 6
5 | 4 | 4 7
5 | 5 | 3 8
3 | 6 | 5 8

is that correct? is that how the stem and leaf chart would be made for my homework? because i dont know how to include or "Inform the reader" about how many employees make that certain amount a year? I hope i explained it well, just let me know if you need any more specific details. thank you for the help in advance.

You should repeat the leaves that are repeated. That way you can see how big each row is. Also the employees column should be the third column, not the first.

employees| stem | leaf
_____________________
3 | 2 | 279
5 | 3 | 22666
5 | 4 | 44777
5 | 5 | 33338
3 | 6 | 558
