3 Suppose you organized a 5K race. You measured each person’s time to complete the race. What type of frequency distribution graph would be most appropriate for your data? Explain your reasoning.

4 Referring to the previous question, suppose you had asked race participants how many previous 5K races they had participated in. You want to see the relationship between the number of previous 5K races and time to finish the current 5K race. What common visual display of data would be most appropriate for these data? Explain your reasoning.

5 Again referring to the 5K race, suppose you want to graph the results of the race. Specifically, you want to see the average race times for people wearing different brands of shoes. What common visual display of data would be most appropriate for these data? Explain your reasoning.
