Answer:

10.285 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Upstream travel time = 5 hours

Return trip travel time = 3.6 hours

Let upstream travel speed = x mph

Downstream travel speed = x + 4 mph

Distance = speed * time

Upstream distance = x * 5 = 5x

Downstream distance = (x + 4) * 3.6

5x = (x + 4) * 3.6

5x = 3.6x + 14.4

5x - 3.6x = 14.4

1.4x = 14.4

x = 10.285714

x = 10.285 miles

Heavy football players: Following are the weights, in pounds, for offensive and defensive linemen on a professional football tea
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

a) Mean = 302.25, Median = 309.5

b) Mean = 276.08, Median = 272

c) Offensive linemen tends to be heavier.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Offense: 325, 292, 316, 308, 325, 263, 302, 311, 265, 329, 267, 324

Defense: 265, 276, 255, 306, 317, 281, 268, 282, 260, 261, 256, 286

a) mean and median weight for the offensive linemen

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{3627}{12} = 302.25

Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}

Sorted Data: 263, 265, 267, 292, 302, 308, 311, 316, 324, 325, 325, 329

\text{Median} = \dfrac{6^{th}+7^{th}}{2}=\dfrac{308+311}{2} = 309.5

b) mean and median weight for the defensive linemen

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{3313}{12} = 276.08

Sorted Data: 255, 256, 260, 261, 265, 268, 276, 281, 282, 286, 306, 317

\text{Median} = \dfrac{6^{th}+7^{th}}{2}=\dfrac{268+276}{2} = 272

c) Comparison

On comparing the mean and median of offensive and defensive linemen, offensive tends to be heavier
