A)What is the average CD4 count for those with and without pneumonia?

B)Imaginea stem-and-leaf plot representing the distribution of the CD4 count in all study participants and describe the plot with respect to its spread.

A) CD4 Count with pneumonia=289.25, CD4 without pneumonia=434.67

B)The spread is bimodal and roughly skewed left.

A) CD4 Count with pneumonia=344.56, CD4 without pneumonia=289.25

B)The spread is bimodal and roughly skewed right.

A) CD4 Count with pneumonia=211.52, CD4 without pneumonia=334.67

B)The spread is bimodal and roughlysymetrical.
