state

State of residence of runner.

time

Official time from starting gun to finish line.

net

The recorded time (in seconds) from when the runner crossed the starting line to when the runner crossed the finish line. This is generally less than the official time because of the large number of runners in the race: it takes time to reach the starting line after the gun has gone off.

sex

data(TenMileRace)
if (require(ggformula)) {
  gf_point(net ~ age | sex, data = TenMileRace, color = ~sex, alpha = 0.1) |>
  gf_density2d(color = "gray40")
  lm(net ~ age + sex, data = TenMileRace)
}
