Noah is on a cross country team. He is analyzing the amount of time in minutes and seconds it takes for him and his teammates to complete a 5-kilometer race and a 20-kilometer race. The results are shown in the accompanying table.
5-km Race 17:34 17:52 18:06 16:44 17:21 17:38 18:32 17:07 16:58 17:56
20-km Race 72:41 71:54 72:20 70:36 75:42 80:36 73:14 74:22 71:26 74:39

The distributions for the 5-kilometer race and 20-kilometer race are skewed left. The times for one member of the team to complete the 5-kilometer race and 20-kilometer race are unusually low for the respective races.

The distribution for the 5-kilometer race is roughly symmetric, and the distribution for the 20-kilometer race is skewed right. The time for one member of the team to complete the 20-kilometer race is unusually high.
The distribution for the 5-kilometer race is roughly symmetric, and the distribution for the 20-kilometer race is skewed right. The time for one member of the team to complete the 20-kilometer race is unusually high.
The distributions for the 5-kilometer race and 20-kilometer race are both symmetric, and there are no outliers. The times for the 5-kilometer race peak between 17
and 18
minutes, while the times for the 20-kilometer race peak between 71
and 75
minutes.
