52. A bicycle trainer studied 50 bicyclists to examine how the finishing time for a certain
bicycle race was related to the amount of physical training in the three months before
the race. To measure the amount of training, the trainer developed a training index,
measured in units and based on the intensity of each bicyclists training. The data and
the trend of the data, represented by a line, are displayed in the scatterplot above.
(a) How many of the 50 bicyclists had both a training index less than 50 units and a
finishing time less than 4.5 hours?
(b) What percent of the 10 fastest bicyclists in the race had a training index less than 90
units?
