Answer: It seems like the provided stemplot got a bit garbled, but I'll do my best to help you with the information provided.

Question (a): What is the area of the largest South Carolina county?

From the stemplot, we can't directly read the exact values, but it appears that the largest value is somewhere around 64. To find the exact area of the largest South Carolina county, we would need the actual data values rather than just their representation in the stemplot.

Question (b): Describe the distribution of area for the 46 South Carolina counties.

Without being able to interpret the exact values from the stemplot, I can't provide a precise description of the distribution. However, I can guide you on how to describe a distribution once you have access to the actual data.

When describing a distribution of data, you might want to consider the following aspects:

Central Tendency: Are there any clear measures of central tendency like the mean, median, or mode that can describe where most of the data is clustered?

Spread: How spread out are the data points? This could be described using the range, interquartile range (IQR), or standard deviation.

Shape: Is the distribution symmetric, skewed (positively or negatively), bimodal, or some other shape?

Outliers: Are there any data points that stand out as significantly different from the rest of the data?

Clusters or Gaps: Are there any obvious groupings of data or gaps between certain ranges?

Trends: Are there any trends in the data over time, categories, or other variables?

If you can provide the actual data values or a clearer representation of the stemplot, I'd be happy to help you analyze and describe the distribution of the county areas in South Carolina.
