Answer: Tim's average speed is greater

====================================================

Explanation:

Lara traveled a total distance of

AB+BC = (6 miles)+(2 miles) = 8 miles

and did so in

(1.5 hours)+(1 hour) = 2.5 hours

Plug those values into the formula

r = d/t

and we get

r = (8 miles)/(2.5 hours)

r = (8/2.5) mph

r = 3.2 mph

Lara's average speed is 3.2 mph

---------------------------------------

We'll follow the same steps for Tim as well

total distance = AE+ED+DC

total distance = (2 mi)+(4 mi)+(6 mi)

total distance = 12 miles

total time = (0.5 hr)+(1.5 hr)+(1.5 hr)

total time = 3.5 hours

rate = distance/time

r = d/t

r = (12 miles)/(3.5 hours)

r = (12/3.5) mph

r = 3.42857 mph approximately

Tim's average speed is roughly 3.42857 mph. We see that he has the greater average speed.

Answer:

Mean: 169.4

Median: 171

Mode: 181

Step-by-step explanation:

I first sorted the numbers by value, least to greatest.

145 147 153 153 167 170 170 172 181 181 181 182 185 185

We can see that 181 occurs the most, 3 times, so it's the mode.

The median of this set will be the middle number(s).

When we take away 6 numbers from both sides we are left with 170 and 172, and the mean of these two numbers is 171. So the median is 171.

We can add all the numbers and divide by 14 to get the mean.

147+153+170+172+185+181+182+185+181+170+181+167+153+145=2372\\\\2372\div14\approx169.4

Hope this helped!
