    b. exam completion time is negatively skewed

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A data distribution is said to be negatively skewed when median value of the distribution is higher than the average value of the distribution.

    In this example

    average mid-term completion time is 40 minutes median mid-term completion time is 55 minutes.

    thus median > mean, so the mid-term completion time is negatively skewed. Negatively skewed distributions are also called left-skewed.
