Concept explainers
Most experienced runners get to a point where they can comfortably jog long distances at a consistent pace. This “pace,” of course, is another way to say “rate of change,” because speed is the rate at which distance changes compared to time. One particular runner jogs one lap around a 400-meter track in 2 minutes. In Questions 7–16, you can assume that the runner can maintain this pace for a long time.
What would this runner’s total time be for a 10k race? (Ten kilometers, that is. Recall that

- Please help. Thank you10!arrow_forwardQuestion 50. Please explain as detail as possible, thanks.arrow_forwardThe prices, in millions of US dollars, of some expensive cars are given below. For example, 9.5 means $9.5 millions. Complete the following parts. You may simply provide the answers without showing any steps for Parts A–F. Answer the questions clearly in parts H and I. 3.2, 2.7, 5.8, 3.3, 2.4, 1.4, 3, 4.8, 2, 2.7, 2.2, 4.5, 2.5, 3.4, 1.15, 3.6, 8, 2.5, 2.8, 13, 1.9 A. Find the mean. Round to three decimal places. B. Find the standard deviation. Round to three decimal places. (Hint: Think whether the data set is a sample or a population.) C. Find mode. D. Determine the location and value for ?1. State the location of ?1 clearly: Value of ?1 = E. Determine the location and value for ?2. State the location of ?2 clearly: Value of ?2 = G. Construct a boxplot. Use appropriate scale and label the axis. Provide an appropriate title to the plot. Provide a unit if necessary. H. Based on the boxplot, does the distribution appear to be symmetric, left skewed, or right skewed? Explain clearly. I.…arrow_forward
- #1. 1-3, thanks.arrow_forwardplease show the explanation on paper.arrow_forwardAmerica is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.The formula E = 5.8√x + 56.4 models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, x years after 2020.a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radicalform.b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph ? By how much?arrow_forward
- Please answer number 1. Show work! Thanks!arrow_forwardQuestion 17 You travel by train to a city and back. The outbound journey took 2.5 hours on an fast train, but the return journey on the same route took 4 hours. If the train averaged 80 mph for the return journey, what was the average speed of the outbound journey? 50 mph 98 mph 100 mph 128 mpharrow_forwardPlease explain step by step. Thank you.arrow_forward
