The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is the fastest land mammal on Earth and is highly
specialized to run down prey. According to the Cheetah Conservation of Southern Africa
Trade Environment Database, the cheetah often exceeds speeds of 60 mph and has been
clocked at speeds of more than 70 mph. the following table, based on information in a
database, gives the speeds, in miles per hour, over a ¼ mile for 35 cheetahs.

Statistics Bureau of the 30 industrialized countries in the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD) titled, “Japan Mulls Workforce Goals for Women”.
Following are the percentage of women in their scientific workforces for a sample of 17
countries. Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for these percentages and identify the
shape of the distribution.
