V How Far and How Fast Do Homing Pigeons Fly? Exercise 1.21 discusses the speed (in yards per minute) that homing pigeons flew
when competing in the 2019 Midwest Classic homing pigeon race. We also have data on the distance (in miles) each of the 1412
pigeons that finished the race covered from the release point to their home loft. Figure below shows histograms for both of these
variables.
