You have to do a histogram here:

11 sec: 2 people: probability is 2/50 = 1/25 = 0.04
12 sec: 5 people: probability is 5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1
13 sec: 8 people: probability is 8/50 = 4/25 = 0.16
14 sec: 10 people: probability is 10/50 = 1/5 = 0.2
15 sec: 21 people: probability is 21/50 = 2.38
16 sec: 2 people: probability is 2/50 = 1/25 = 0.04
17 sec: 2 people: probability is 2/50 = 1/25 = 0.04
