A tortoise and a hare are competing in a race around a 1600-meter track. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 78

0-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 10 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 5.3 meters per second.

I am presuming that the question is who won or by how much did the winner win. 

distance equals rate times time, or d = r*t
For the Hare d = 1600 and r = 10
   1600 = 10 t 
Divide both sides by 10 
t = 160
The hare finished in 160 seconds

For the tortoise d = 1600 - 780 = 820 (due to the head start) and r = 5.3
820= 5.3 t
Divide both sides by 5.3
t = 154.72 (rounded to the hundredths place)

The tortoise won by 5. 28 seconds (160-154.72)

<span>The tortoise wins. The tortoise takes 154.7 seconds to finish the race. The hare takes 160 seconds to finish the race. There really isn't a question here, but I'm going to assume the unasked question is one of "Who wins?" "How long does it take the tortoise to complete the race?" or "How long does it take the hare to complete the race?" And thankfully, in determining the answer to "Who wins?" will have as a side effect the answers to the other two questions. First, how many seconds does it take for the hare to complete the race. Just divide the distance by the speed and you'll have the answer. So 1600 m / 10 m/s = 160 s Now, how many seconds does it take the tortoise to finish the race? Same thing. Distance divided by speed. But there's a twist, you need to figure out the distance. And that is just the track length minus the head start. So (1600 m - 780 m) / 5.3 m/s = 820 m / 5.3 m/s = 154.717 s And since the tortoise took less time than the hare, the tortoise wins.</span>

In Problems 1-8, determine the level of measurement of each variable.
lbvjy [14]

The level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval

Level of measurement is used in assigning measurement to variables depending on their attributes.

There are basically four (4) levels of measurement (see image in the attachment):

1. <u>Nominal:</u> Here, values are assigned to variables just for naming and identification sake. It is also used for categorization.

  • Examples of variables that fall under the measurement are: Favorite movie, Eye Color.

<u>2. Ordinal:</u> This level of measurement show difference between variables and the direction of the difference. In order words, it shows magnitude or rank among variables.

  • Examples of such variables that fall under this are: highest degree conferred, birth order among siblings in a family.

<u>3. Interval Scale:</u> this third level of measurement shows magnitude, a known equal difference between variables can be ascertain. However, this type of measurement has <em>no true zero</em> point.

  • Examples of the variables that fall here include: Monthly temperatures, year of birth of college students

4. Ratio Scale: This scale of measurement has a "true zero". It also has every property of the interval scale.

  • Examples are: ages of children, volume of water used.

Therefore, the level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval
