A stemplot is most similar to a histogram because both display the distribution of data across different intervals. In this stemplot, the stems (11, 12, 13, etc.) act like the bins or intervals in a histogram (110-119, 120-129, etc.), and the leaves represent the frequency of data points within those intervals.
