Question 1118111
suppose the timing device used in the men 2013 world championship race failed to activate at the start of the race and instead began to record the times x seconds into the race. 
How would the competitors times would be affected. Would the x seconds be added to or subtracted from the times recorded? 
Ans:: Added
--------------------
Would the median 1814.01 be affected?
The median number would be x seconds short of the actual runners time
but it's position when the unadjusted times were listed would be correct.
