If a person with a height of 58 inches takes 2,601 steps per mile, a person with a height of 64 inches takes 2,357 steps per mil

e, and a person with a height of 76 inches takes 1,985 steps per mile, what is the average number of steps of three 58-inch people, five 64-inch people, and two 76-inch people. Afterwards, find the weighted average number of steps. How does the average compare with the weighted average? Which value is a more accurate representation of the data?

Answer:

1. Average Number of Steps of

= Total of the different steps /  divided by 3

= 6,943/3

= 2,314.3 steps

2. Weighted Average Number of Steps of 3, 58-inch, 5, 64-inc, and 2, 76-inch people

= Total steps by the 10 people divided by 10

= 23,558/10

= 2,355.8 steps

3. The difference is not much.

4. The weighted average (2,355.8 steps) is a more accurate representation of the data.  The calculation of the ordinary average steps is more confusing than the weighted average steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculation of the Weighted Average Number of Steps of:

3, 58-inch people = 3 x 2,601 =   7,803

5, 64-inch people = 5 x 2,357 = 11,785

2, 76-inch people = 2 x 1,985 =  3,970

10 persons' total steps = 23,558

2. Calculation of the ordinary average:

58-inch people =  2,601

64-inch people =  2,357

76-inch people =  1,985

Total steps           6,943

denpristay [2]

Answer:

271 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

15.95+0.92 x=265.27

0.92 x=265.27-15.95

.92 x=249.32

x=24932/92=271

On the grid, sketch a graph to represent
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Please find attached, the required graph created on MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Sandy's house and the school = 200 m

The number of minutes Sandy talked to her friend for = 10 minutes

The time it took Sandy to return home to pick her homework = 5 minutes

Let <em>x </em>represent Sandy's location she stops to talk to her friend 10 minutes, we have;

The slope of the motion on the graph, m₁ = (x - 0)/(t - 0)

The slope of her motion running home to pick the up her homework, m₂ = (x - 0)/(5 - 0)

Given that t > 5, the slope on trip back home, m₁, is larger than are her initial slope, m₂

Therefore, where x = 125, we have;

The rate at which she returned home = m₂ = (125 m - 0)/(5 min - 0) = 25 m/min

Given that the same rate m₂ is what she used in heading back to school, we have;

The time it takes her to get to school = 200 m/(25 m/min) = 8 minutes

Therefore, whereby it took her 10 minutes to reach point <em>x</em>, we have the following coordinate points on the graph in a tabular form;

\begin{array}{ccc} Time \ (minutes) \ x-axis&&Distance  \ (meters) \ y-axis\\0&&0\\10&&25\\15&&0\\23&&200\end{array}

The plot of the above point is completed using MS Excel as shown in the attached diagram.
