An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in t

he class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes. A junior high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 9 minutes, with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Kenji, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8.5 minutes. A high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 7 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes. Nedda, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes. Who is the fastest runner with respect to his or her class?

Answer:

Rachel

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to measure how far (towards the left) are the students from the mean in<em> “standard deviations units”</em>.  

That is to say, if t is the time the student ran the mile and s is the standard deviation of the class, we must find an x such that

mean - x*s = t

For Rachel we have

11 - x*3 = 8, so x = 1.  

Rachel is <em>1 standard deviation far (to the left) from the mean</em> of her class

For Kenji we have

9 - x*2 = 8.5, so x = 0.25

Kenji is <em>0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean</em> of his class

For Nedda we have

7 - x*4 = 8, so x = 0.25

Nedda is also 0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean of his class.

As Rachel is the farthest from the mean of her class in term of standard deviations, Rachel is the fastest runner with respect to her class.

The plane flew over a beacon which is 280 miles from bristol. write down the gmt times when the plane flew over the beacon.
eimsori [14]

According to graph, GMT time when the plane flew over the beacon was 9:24.

While looking closely at the graph on x axis , one will notice that each hour is divided into 5 parts and hence each part has 12 minutes. looking at y axis, one may find that each part on y axis resembles 20miles. Hence at 280 miles away from Bristol, The GMT time is 9:24.

<h3>What is a graph?</h3>
  • In mathematics, a graph is a visual representation or diagram that shows facts or values in an ordered way.
  • The relationships between two or more items are frequently represented by the points on a graph.
  • The study of graphs, which are mathematical constructions used to represent pairwise relationships between things, is known as graph theory in mathematics. Vertices (also known as nodes or points) make up a graph in this sense, which are connected by edges (also called links or lines).
  • Undirected graphs, in which edges connect two vertices symmetrically, are distinguished from directed graphs, in which edges connect two vertices asymmetrically. One of the main topics of study in discrete mathematics is graphs.
