    0% of the racers finished in 28 minutes or less

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There is the need to understand the meaning of the standard deviation in this question.

    The standard deviation expresses by how much the finishing time differed from the mean/average time. So, it tells us that the time range for all of the racers can be written as Mean ± Standard Deviation = 32 ± 2 minutes = (32 - 2) to (32 + 2) = 30 to 34 minutes.

    So, all of the racers finished in 30 minutes or more, and no one finished in less than thirty minutes.

    The questions asked to know o those who finished in 28 minutes or less, and that does not exist in this given data, so 0% of the racers finished in 28 minutes or less
