Question
The 4 by 200 meter freestyle relay consists of four swimmers, each swimming 200 meters, one after
another. The top 18 national relay teams for both the men and the women qualify to race in the Olympics.
The first round consists of two heats of 8 teams in which four teams from each heat move on to compete in
a final of eight teams. When watching the Olympics you often notice men's and women's teams from the
same nation standing on the podium, so we wonder: Is there a correlation between men's and women's
relay times?
