A tortoise challenged a hare to a 100-meter race on a track. The tortoise negotiated a 50-meter head start with the hare. When the race started the hare was running at a constant speed of 2.8 meters per second and the tortoise was crawling at a speed of 0.5 meters per second. (They both maintained these speeds for the entire race.)
Our goal is to determine who won the race.
Read the above problem statement again, then explain in writing on a sheet of paper how you will determine who won the race.
Construct a drawing to represent the 100-meter length of the track. Then place the tortoise and hare's starting points on the track.
Define the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race.
Write an expression to represent the Tortoise's distance from the starting line in terms of t.
Represent the Hare's distance from the starting line in terms of t.
Write a formula to represent the distance, d (in meters), that the tortoise is ahead of the hare in…

- A professor gives two types of quizzes, objective and recall. He is planning to give atleast 15 quizzes this quarter. The student preparation time for an objective quiz is 15minutes and for a recall quiz 30 minutes. The professor expects a student to spend at least5 hours (300 minutes) preparing for these quizzes. The average score on an objective quizis 7 points, and on a recall quiz is 5 points, and the professor would like the averagestudent to score at least 85 points on all quizzes.

The company that markets this crank plans a test of five riders who will travel a 100-mile route once with the Powercam and once with a conventional crank. The company claims that the new crank reduces the time needed to cover the 100 miles. The times in hours for the five riders are 3. as follows: Rider 1 3 4 5 Powercam 4.4 4.6 4.7 4.8 4.9 Conventional 5.1 5.3 5.1 4.9 5.2 Use a 5% significance level and assume that both population distributions are normal. Is there sufficient evidence in the data to support the claim that the new crank reduces the time needed to cover the 100 miles?

- A fourth-grade teacher suspects that the time she administers a test, and what sort of snack her students have before the test, affects their performance. To test her theory, she assigns 90 fourth-grade students to one of three groups. One group gets candy (jelly beans) for their 9:55 AM snack. Another group gets a high-protein snack (cheese) for their 9:55 AM snack. The third group does not get a 9:55 AM snack. The teacher also randomly assigns 10 of the students in each snack group to take the test at three different times: 10:00 AM (right after snack), 11:00 AM (an hour after snack), and 12:00 PM (right before lunch). Examining the graph and the table of means, which of the following is a null hypothesis that might be rejected using a two-factor analysis of variance? Check all that apply.

Doris was shown a light underwater. If the light was on steadily, her partner Buzz on the other side of the tank needed to press a button on the right for them to earn fish. If the light was blinking, he needed to press a button on the left. At one point in the study, the researcher hung a canvas in the middle of the tank in such a way that Buzz could not see the light. After looking at the light, Doris "swam near the curtain and began to whistle loudly. Shortly after that Buzz whistled back and then pressed the correct button".

- A family is coloring eggs and wants to make two shades of purple, "light purple" and "deep purple". They have 30 tablespoons of red solution and 2 tablespoons of blue solution. If "light purple" consists of 2% blue solution, and “deep purple" consists of 10% blue solution, how much of each version of purple solution can be created? [Hint: Let x represent the number of table spoons of "light purple" to be created, and let y represent the number of tablespoons of “deep purple". Based on the information provided, the two tablespoons of blue solution will be distributed according to the following linear equation 2 =|? x +[? y Complete the equation above by filling in the boxes, then write a similar linear equation that shows the distribution of red solution. Solve the resulting system of linear equations.]arrow_forwardA farmer is concerned that a change in fertilizer to an organic variant might change his crop yield.
