3. The winning times (in seconds) for men's (x) and women's (v) 100-meter run in the summer Olympics from 1928 through 2004 are plotted below. The equation of the least-squares regression line is:x=-3.17 +1.42x. In 2000, Maurice Green won the men's 100-meter run with a winning time of 9.87 seconds while Marion Jones won the women's 100-meter run with a winning time of 11.5 seconds. 3.1 On the basis of the least-squares regression line, how would you rate Marion Jones' performance? 3.2 What is the slope of the regression line? Interpret the slope in terms of the times that Marion Jones and Maurice Green ran.

A map suggests that Atlanta is 730. miles in a direction 5.00 north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560. miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P1.68 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P1.68

The layout of the town of Popperville is a perfectly square grid, with blocks 100 feet long (Fig. P3.8). A cat leaves her house and travels to Mike Mulligans place 4 blocks west and 3 blocks north of its starting point. After lapping up the milk that Mike always leaves out, the cat travels an additional 1 block north and 3 blocks east to Mrs. McGillicuttys house. a. On your paper, carefully copy the grid of streets that contains the cats house, Mike Mulligans house, and Mrs. McGillicuttys house. Then draw and label three displacement vectors on your sketch: r1, the cats displacement from her house to Mike Mulligans; r2, the cats displacement from Mike Mulligans to Mrs. McGillicuttys; and rtot, the cats total displacement. b. Write an equation to relate the three displacement vectors you have drawn. c. Is the distance the cat traveled greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the cats total displacement vector? Explain. FIGURE P3.8
