Question

Select the correct choices to complete the sentence. Three drivers competed in the same fifteen drag races. The mean and standard deviation for the race times of each of the drivers are given. Driver A had a mean race time of 4.01 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.05 seconds. Driver B had a mean race time of 3.96 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.12 seconds. Driver C had a mean race time of 3.99 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.19 seconds. a. Which driver had the fastest typical race time?

Answer 1

Answer:

Driver B has the fastest race time

Step-by-step explanation:

From the options presented, driver B has the fastest typical race time because he recorded the smallest time taken to complete an individual race.

Also from the standard deviation given (3.96) for driver B, it shows that the individual time spread from the standard deviation is minimal and that the driver maintained a fairly consistent time of race throughout the racing period.
