1. **State the problem:** We are asked to describe the shape of the distribution shown in the stemplot. 2. **Understand the stemplot:** The stems represent the tens digit (3 to 10), and the leaves represent the units digit. For example, stem 3 with leaf 5 represents 35. 3. **Analyze the distribution:** The data points are spread from 35 to 101. 4. **Look for symmetry:** The counts of leaves per stem are roughly balanced around the middle stems (6 and 7), with similar numbers of data points on both sides. 5. **Check for skewness:** There is no clear tail longer on one side; the data does not stretch more to the right or left. 6. **Check for bimodality:** There is no clear presence of two distinct peaks. 7. **Conclusion:** The distribution is approximately symmetric. **Final answer:** The shape of the distribution is approximately symmetric.
