We want to create a proportion with minutes over miles for each person. The proportion for this problem is shown below.

30 minutes / 4 miles = 56 minutes / 7 miles

To find out if these people are running at the same rate, we can cross-multiply.

224 = 210

Because 224 and 210 are not equivalent, the people are not running at the same rate.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

a) sample size is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

$\sigma=4$ minutes

Margin of error, E is 75 seconds E=75/60= 1.25 minutes.

The level of significance $\alpha= 0.05$ for 95% level of significance

For 95% confidence interval $z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=1.96$ from standard deviation table

Sample size required, n

$n=\left (\frac{z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot \sigma}{E} \right )^{2}=\left (\frac{1.96\cdot4}{75/60} \right )^{2}=39.337984$

Rounding off, n=40

Sample size =40
