The scatter plot has been attached

Answer:

Options C, D & E are true

Explanation:

Option A is wrong because from the scatter plot, only four athletes were faster in the second race than in the first one.

Option B is wrong because only 1 athlete had his second race time differing from the first race time by exactly 2 seconds.

Option C is true because exactly 9 of the times for the first race were at least 16 seconds

Option D is true because there are exactly 3 athletes who had the same time in both races

Option E is true because 8 of the times for the second race were less than 17 seconds
