Answer:

The rabbit will run 264feet to get to the tortoise

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem perfectly, we need to take note of the units and conversions involved.

The speed of the tortoise is 0.1 mi/hr

The speed of the hare is 5mi/hr

If the hare rests for another 30 minutes before he starts running the race, We are to get the distance covered by the tortoise under this 30 minutes.

The tortoise runs 0.1 miles in 1 hour

The tortoise will run x miles in 0.5 hours.

x = 0.5 X 0.1 = 0.05 miles.

Therefore, the distance covered by the Tortoise within 30 minutes is 0.05 miles.

The hare will have to run for 0.05 miles before he can catch up to the tortoise.

It is now unit conversion comes into play. We are converting the 0.05 miles to feet so we can get our final answer.

The answer in feet is 264 feet.

Therefore, the rabbit will run 264feet to get to the tortoise

<span>The two checkpoints are 4,920 ft. apart from each other. The total distance of the race is 15,840 ft. If checkpoint C half the distance between checkpoint B and the end of the race, the distance between Checkpoint B and the end of the race is 9,840 ft. Half of that distance is 4,920 ft.</span>

Find the mean and the standard deviation for each set of values. Show your work. 15,17,19,20,14,23,12

1. Mean.

$\overline{x}=\dfrac{15+17+19+20+14+23+12}{7}=\dfrac{120}{7}\approx\boxed{17.14}$

2. <span>Standard deviation.

First we have to square each value and calculate the mean of that squares:

$\overline{x^2}=\dfrac{15^2+17^2+19^2+20^2+14^2+23^2+12^2}{7}=\boxed{\dfrac{2144}{7}}$

so the variance:

$s^2=\overline{x^2}-\overline{x}^2=\dfrac{2144}{7}-\left(\dfrac{120}{7}\right)^2\approx\boxed{12.41}$

and the standard deviation:

$s=\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{12.41}\approx\boxed{3.52}$
