Step 1
1. In the Stem and Lead plot mostly it considers the last digit as leaves and all the digits before the last digit as Stem.
In the 4 digit number consider the last digit i.e. thousands part as leaf and the three digits before that as stem.
The stem and leaf of the data is as follows:
StemLeaf25122541270027152940300031003300344438404200045006000630064008370100001260018200
Step 2
2. From the above data it can be seen that it is a positive skewed data. Initial values are high as compare to last one (maximum one). Therefore, it is a positively skewed distributed data.
