Answer 1

Answer:

The distribution is symmetric

The distribution is skewed to the right

The distribution is skewed to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

Stem-and-leaf display can be plotted by the following steps:

(1)From the given data, the smallest and largest number must be identified

(2)Identity the stem. This is always the digit to the left of the right most digit. One digit number have a stem of 0. Consider the number 727 in the question, the stem is 2

The right-most digit of 727 is 7, and 2 is the left digit to it(7).

Also, for a number 27, stem is 2

Also for a number 2, stem is 0.

(3)Draw a vertical line and list the stem numbers to the left of the line

(4)Fill in the data given as leaves

(5)Sort the leaf data
