Answer 2

Team A has more spread out times, but they have the fastest times in their lower quartile.

Team B has more consistent times, but their times in the lower quartile are slower than Team A's. Their upper quartile times are faster than Team A's.

Both teams observed the same fastest and lowest times.

Both teams' medians are close to each other, but Team B has a slightly faster median.
