    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
