Answer:
a) Bell shape, similar to normal
b) Smallest observation: 1.6
c) 8th largest observation: 4.9
9th largest observation: 4.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The stem and leaf plot for this series is
Stem Leaf
1 6 8
2 1 2 5 5 5 7 8 8 9 9
3 1 1 4 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 8 9 9 9
4 0 0 0 1 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 9
5 1 1 6 6 7
6 1 2
The shape suggested by this plot is a bell-shape, similar to a normal distribution.
The smallest value is the first one that appears in the plot: 1.6.
The eighth and ninth larges observation has to be counted backwards from the largest (6.2).
8th largest observation: 4.9
9th largest observation: 4.9
