Question

suppose you made 5 measures of your walking time and got the following values: 6.5 s, 6.2 s, 5.7 s, 6.9 s, and 5.8 s. what is the average walking time (in seconds)? add your answer integer, decimal, or e notation allowed question 2 conducting a walking experiment, you walked 12.3 m in 6.7 s. what is your walking speed in m/s? add your answer integer, decimal, or e notation allowed

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate sum of walking - times

$6.5 + 6.2+5.7 + 6.9+5.8=31.1$

Step2: Calculate average walking - time

The number of measurements $n = 5$. The average $\bar{x}=\frac{\text{Sum}}{n}=\frac{31.1}{5}=6.22$

Step3: Calculate walking speed for Question 2

The formula for speed $v=\frac{d}{t}$, where $d = 12.3$ m and $t = 6.7$ s. So $v=\frac{12.3}{6.7}\approx1.84$

Answer:

Question 1: $6.22$
Question 2: $1.84$
