Step-by-step explanation:
1)
The table containing the score and the relative probability of each score is:
Score 3 4 5 6 7
Probability 0.15 0.40 0.25 0.15 0.05
Here we call
X = Miguel's score on the Water Hole
The expected value of a certain variable X is given by:
where
are all the possible values that the variable X can take
is the probability that
Therefore in this problem, the expected value of MIguel's score is given by:
2)
In this problem, we call:
X = Miguel's score on the Water Hole
Here we have that:
- If the long hit is successfull, the expected value of X is
- Instead, if the long hit fails, the expected value of X is
Here we also know that the probability of a successfull long hit is
Which means that the probabilty of an unsuccessfull long hit is
Therefore, the expected value of X if Miguel chooses the long hit approach is:
In part 1) of the problem, we saw that the expected value for the short hit was instead
Since the expected value for X is lower (=better) for the short hit approach, we can say that the short hit approach is better.

Answer:
15.05 miles
2 :09:12
5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
28/4/18:
Time : 1 :03 : 25
Fastest mile = 02 : 25
Distance = 15.05 miles
03/5/18:
Time : 2:06: 41
Fastest mile = 02 : 53
Distance = 28.70 miles
08/5/18:
Time : 2 :09:12
Fastest mile = 02 : 45
Distance = 26.39 miles2
1.) shortest distance cycled :
From the data:
15.05 < 26.39 < 28.70
Shortest distance cycled = 15.05 miles
The longest the cycled:
1 :03 : 25 < 2:06: 41 < 2 :09:12
Longest = 2 :09:12
Total cycling time :
1 :03 : 25 + 2:06: 41 + 2 :09:12
(1 + 2 + 2)= 5 hrs
(03 + 06+ 09) = 18 minutes
(25 + 41 + 12) = 78 seconds = 1 minute 18 seconds
18 minutes + 1 minute = 19 minutes
Total = 5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds
