Expert Solution
Step 1

The shape of the distribution can be determined using values of mean and median.

  • If the mean is greater than median, the data is right (positively) skewed.
  • If mean is less than median, the data is left (negatively) skewed.
  • If the mean is equal to median, then the data is symmetric.

From the Excel output, the mean is 306.9333, median is 310.000, and standard deviation is 33.4674.

It can be observed that, the value of mean is less than median indicating that the distribution is skewed left.

Thus, the distribution of time data is skewed left.

Since the time data is skewed left, Chebyshev’s rule must be used to calculate the percentage.
