Answer:
If asking for the distance, the answer would be C.
Answer:
He performed better in the 800 m race
Step-by-step explanation:
Obtain the standardized score for each event :
Zscore = (score - mean) / standard deviation
1000 meter :
Mean = 4.5 ; Standard deviation = 0.75 ; x = 4.1
Zscore = (4.1 - 4.5) / 0.75
Zscore = - 0.4 / 0.75 = - 0.5333
800 meter :
Mean = 3.2 ; Standard deviation = 0.4 ; x = 3
Zscore = (3 - 3.2) / 0.4
Zscore = - 0.2 / 0.4 = - 0.5
-0.5 > - 0.533
Hence, he performed better in the 800 m race
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question , we are interested in calculating the total distance covered by the train in the 10 minutes that it ran.
From the first part of the question, we already know the distances in the first 5 minutes.
Now, to calculate the total distance in the second 5 minutes, we use the distance formula since we have the average speed and the time;
Mathematically; Total distance = average speed * time
From the question, average speed is 33km/h, while time is 5 minutes. To achieve a consistent unit, we convert 5 minutes to hours.
That would be 5/60 = 1/12 hours
So the total distance in the second 5 minutes is;
33 * 1/12 = 2.75 km
Now, to calculate the total distance traveled, let’s add up the distances in the first 5 minutes and convert to kilometers;
That would be;
68 + 127 + 208 + 312 + 535 = 1,250 m
Let’s convert this to km.
We simply divide by 1000 = 1250/1000 = 1.25 km
The total distance is thus ;
1.25 + 2.75 = 4 km
