The stem-and-leaf plot shows a long right tail, indicating a right-skewed distribution. The typical age (median) falls between the stems 3|3 and 3|9, which corresponds to the ages 33-39. The three outliers are represented by the leaves 0, 1, and 2 (ages 3x, 4x, and 5x). Excluding these outliers, the ages range from 28 to 73. Therefore, choice C accurately describes the distribution and provides sufficient details about the outliers and age range.
