Wetlands offer a diversity of benefits. They provide a habitat for wildlife, spawning grounds for U.S. commercial fish, and renewable timber resources. In the last 200 years, the United States has lost more than half its wetlands. Environmental Almanac gives the percentage of wetlands lost in each state in the last 200 years. For the 30 of the lower 48 states, the percentage loss of wetlands per state is as follows S0 50 60 38 59 27 59 42 87 89 45 45 35 90 24 51 35 38 73 48 30 20 83 55 68 51 37 42 35 Make a stem-and-leaf display of these data. (Use the tens digit as the stem and the ones digit as the leaf. Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.) Percent of Wetlands Lost How are the percentages distributed? Is the distribution skewed? Are there any gaps? (Select all that apply.) These data are fairly symmetric, perhaps slightily skewed right. There is a gap showing that none of the lower 48 states has lost from 60% to 69 of its wetlands. There are no gaps in the data. The percentages are concentrated from 20% to 60% The percentages are concentrated from 60 to 90%.
