Chapter 1.3, Problem 29E
Running If you think a marathon is a long race, consider the Hardrock 100, a 100.5 mile running race held in southwestern Colorado. The chart on the next page lists the times that the 2008 winner, Kyle Skaggs, arrived at various mileage points along the way. Source: www.run100s.com.

- (a) What was Skagg’s average speed?
- (b) Graph the data, plotting time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis. Do the data appear to lie approximately on a straight line?
- (c) Find the equation for the least squares line, fitting distance as a linear function of time.
- (d) Calculate the
correlation coefficient . Does it indicate a good fit of the least squares line to the data? - (e) Based on your answer to part (d), what is a good value for Skagg’s average speed? Compare this with your answer to part (a). Which answer do you think is better? Explain your reasoning.

- Number 4 plsarrow_forwardGood Day, Would appreciate any assistance with this query. Regards,arrow_forwardThis question builds on an earlier problem. The randomized numbers may have changed, but have your work for the previous problem available to help with this one. A 4-centimeter rod is attached at one end to a point A rotating counterclockwise on a wheel of radius 2 cm. The other end B is free to move back and forth along a horizontal bar that goes through the center of the wheel. At time t=0 the rod is situated as in the diagram at the left below. The wheel rotates counterclockwise at 1.5 rev/sec. At some point, the rod will be tangent to the circle as shown in the third picture.
