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 Interpret how the shape of the times for the 5-kilometer race compares to the shape of the times for the 20-kilometer race.     The distributions for the 5-kilometer race and 20-kilometer race are both symmetric, and there are no outliers.

Question

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

Interpret how the shape of the times for the 5-kilometer race compares to the shape of the times for the 20-kilometer race.

 
 
  • 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 1717 and 1818 minutes, while the times for the 20-kilometer race peak between 7171 and 7575 minutes.
  •  
    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 of the 5-kilometer race is skewed right, and the distribution for the 20-kilometer race is roughly symmetric. The time for one member of the team to complete the 5-kilometer race is unusually high.
  •  
    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.
