average velocity:
How did Lance use the Mean Value Theorem to explain his complaint?
miles/hour
For 50% of time, Lance's speed exceeds his average speed that in turn is above 15 miles/hour.
There is at least one moment of time when Lance's speed is equal to his average speed. At that moment Lance's speed
exceeds the speed of 15 miles/hour.
As Lance's average speed is greater than 15 miles/hour, at any moment of time the speedometer should show the speed
that is above 15 miles/hour.
