Which of the following is the best reason for choosing a stemplot rather than a histogram to display the distribution of a quantitative variable? (a) Stemplots allow you to split stems; histograms don't. (b) Stemplots allow you to see the values of individual observations. (c) Stemplots are better for displaying very large sets of data. (d) Stemplots never require rounding of values. (e) Stemplots make it easier to determine the shape of a distribution.
