Solution

(a)

Since all the coustmers and manager of coffee shop wants to be waiting time less as much as possible so distribution of the waiting time will be skewed to right.

(b)

If the distribution were bimodal then there was a low mode and a high mode. Low mode means low waiting times and high mode mean high waiting. That is there was a cluster of data towards low waiting time and cluster of data towards high waiting time.
