[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

In a stem-and-leaf plot, the stems represent the tens place of the given values, and the leaves represent the ones place. In this case, the stems would be the tens digit of each score, and the leaves would be the ones digit.

For the data provided:

Stem|Leaf
4 |8
5 |8
6 |7
7 |0 1 1 2 3 5 9
8 |1 2 3 8 9

This stem-and-leaf plot would represent the student test scores in a visual way, with the stems grouping the scores by their tens digit and the leaves showing the individual scores within each group.
