Answer:

  12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between jogging speed and walking speed means the time it takes to walk 4 miles is the same as the time it takes to jog 8 miles. Then the total travel time (0.75 h) is the time it would take to jog 1+8 = 9 miles. The jogging speed is ...

  (9 mi)(.75 h) = 12 mi/h . . . average jogging speed

__

<em>Check</em>

1 mile will take (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = 1/12 h to jog.

4 miles will take (4 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4/6 = 8/12 h to walk.

The total travel time is (1/12 +8/12) h = 9/12 h = 3/4 h. (answer checks OK)

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

Olympic race-walking speed is on the order of 7.7 mi/h, so John's walking speed of 6 mi/h should be considered quite a bit faster than normal. The fastest marathon ever run is on the order of a bit more than 12 mi/h, so John's jogging speed is also quite a bit faster than normal. No wonder he got tired.

A college professor reports that students who finish exams early tend to get better grades than students who hold on to exams un
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The correlation between exam score and amount of time spent on the exam is an example of a <u>negative correlation</u>.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

College professor reports that students who finish exams early tend to get better grades than students who hold on to exams until the last possible moment.

That means the student who finish the exam early will get the highest marks. One who finish after the first student will get second highest mark and the one who finish in the end will get the least marks.

Now consider time as first variable and marks as second variable.

That means as the first variable increase the second variable decreases.

According to the definition of Negative correlation: It is a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases as the other decreases, and vice versa.

Hence, the correct answer is negative correlation.
