An island is 3 kilometers due north of its closest point along a straight shoreline. A visitor is staying in a tent that is 13 kilometers east of that point. The visitor is planning to go from the tent to the island. Suppose the visitor runs at a rate of 8 kmph and swims at a rate of 1 km. How far should the visitor run to minimize the time it takes to reach the island

The visitor should run 13 km due west from the tent

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have;

Location of island = 3 km North of point on shoreline

Location of tent = 13 km East of point on shoreline

Running speed of visitor = 8 km/h

Swimming speed = 1 km/h

Distance of island from tent =

Since, time = distance/speed, it will take 13.34/1 hours or 13.34 hours to swim directly to the island.

However if the visitor first runs to the closest point on the shoreline to the island, then swims across to the island, it will take;

13/8 Hr + 3/1 hr = 37/8 hours or 4.625 hours only.

Therefore, to minimize the time it takes to reach the island, the visitor has to run 13 km west of the tent to first get to the closest point of the shoreline to the island before swimming across to the island.

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
