Answer: 1. Histogram and Negatively skewed shape.

2. Unimodal Distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Stem and leaf diagram usually displays Histogram to represent the frequency with which certain values occur. But sometimes it may represent Bell shaped normal or uniform distribution.

but by seeing the data, it can be concluded that it is negatively skewed data as more values are on left than on right and also majority of values are not centered at the median of data.

In this negatively type of skewness data, the Mode will be highest and mean will be the lowest.

2. This distribution is Unimodal as there is only one peak in the diagram.

If there would be more than one peak in the stem and leaf plot then the distribution would have been Bimodal.
