How does the speed of a runner vary over the course of a marathon (a distance of 42.195 km)? Consider determining both the time

to run the first 5 km and the time to run between the 35-km and 40-km points, and then subtracting the former time from the latter time. A positive value of this difference corresponds to a runner slowing down toward the end of the race. The accompanying histogram is based on times of runners who participated in several different Japanese marathons.†

Answer:

The observed typical difference value of mode is 100 seconds approximately.

The proportion of runners ran the late distance more quickly than the early distance is approximately 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamentals

Consider that there are x favorable cases to an event E, out of a total of n cases. Then, the probability of that event is written as:

P(E)=  

Total number of cases /Number of favorable cases =  x/n

A histogram is constructed for continuous data, which is divided into classes called bins. The shape of the distribution can be determined from the histogram.

step 1

The provided histogram indicates time difference on xx -axis and frequency of runners on yy -axis. To determine the typical difference value, identify the peaks of the graph.

The histogram is skewed towards right side. The graph indicates that there are few outliers around 700 seconds. For a typical difference value, the value of mode is considered.

The graph indicates that the value of mode is 100 seconds approximately.

The observed typical difference value of mode is 100 seconds approximately.

Explanation

From the histogram, the typical difference value is obtained on the basis of guessing the value of mode which has been approximated to be around 100 seconds.

Step 2

From the histogram, it can be estimated that there are around 10 runners which has negative difference which means approxi8matley 10 runners ran the late distance more quickly than the early distance,

The approximate sample size can be calculated as:

Sample size=90+190+180+160+120+80+60+40+30+20

Thus, the proportion of runners is obtained as:

\begin{array}{c}\\p = \frac{{\left( \begin{array}{l}\\{\rm{Number of runners who has }}\\\\{\rm{negative time difference}}\\\end{array} \right)}}{{{\rm{Total sample size}}}}\\\\ = \frac{{10}}{{970}}\\\\ = 0.01\\\end{array}  

p=  <u> </u>Number of runners who has

<u>     negative time difference   </u>

      Total sample size

​  

=10/970

=0.001

The proportion of runners ran the late distance more quickly than the early distance is approximately 1%

EXPLANATION

The obtained proportion is 0.01. It indicates that there are approximately 1% of the runners who ran late distance more quickly than the early distance is very few.

Analyze the diagram below and answer the question that follows. If 2004-02-01-02-00_files/, what is 2004-02-01-02-00_files/? A.
nadya68 [22]

Option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively. This can be obtained by knowing what similar triangles are and finding which sides are proportional.

<h3>Find the correct option:</h3>

Similar triangles: If two triangles have proportional sides the are similar.

For example, if ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar then

\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{AC}{DF}

∠ABC = ∠DEF and ∠ACB = ∠DFE

Then we can write that, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Here in this question,

Since A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV

XA = AW

WY = VY

XZ = VZ

To consider sides AY and XV we should take triangles ΔWAY and ΔWXV

\frac{WX}{WA} =\frac{2WA}{WA} = 2  (since A is the midpoint of WX)

\frac{WV}{WY} =\frac{2WY}{WY} = 2  (since Y is the midpoint of WV)  

∠AWY = ∠XWV (reflexive property)

Therefore ΔWAY and ΔWXV are similar triangles

\frac{WX}{WA}= \frac{XV}{AY} =\frac{WV}{WY} = 2

∠WAY = ∠WXV and ∠AYW = ∠XVW

Hence,

AY || XV option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively.

How do you solve this step by step?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

-2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

first you are going to distrubute 2/5, so 2/5 times x is 2/5x and 2/5 times -2 is -4/5

next you set up the problem with those two answers which gives you:

2/5x - 4/5 = 4x

then multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 2x-4=20x

next move the constant to the right side and chnage the sign: 2x=20x+4

then combine like terms: -18x=4

after that divide both sides of the equation by -18: -2/9

so x= -2/9
