Question

61. You are training for a triathlon that consists of a 3-mile run, a 10-mile bicycle ride, and a $1\frac{3}{8}$-mile swim. During the first day of training, you run for $\frac{3}{8}$ of an hour, ride your bike for $1\frac{5}{6}$ hours, then swim for $\frac{2}{3}$ of an hour. How many hours did you train for the triathlon on the first day? $\circ$ $2\frac{7}{8}$ $\circ$ $2\frac{2}{3}$ $\circ$ $1\frac{16}{17}$ $\circ$ $1\frac{6}{17}$

61. You are training for a triathlon that consists of a 3-mile run, a 10-mile bicycle ride, and a 1(3)/(8)-mile swim. During the first day of training, you run for (3)/(8) of an hour, ride your bike for 1(5)/(6) hours, then swim for (2)/(3) of an hour. How many hours did you train for the triathlon on the first day? ∘ 2(7)/(8) ∘ 2(2)/(3) ∘ 1(16)/(17) ∘ 1(6)/(17)

The triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three disciplines, in its most popular form: swimming, cycling, and running. The following data represents the results of the 2017 Hamilton CAMTRI Sprint Triathlon American Cup for men: 00:55:14, 00:55:21, 00:56:00, 00:56:12, 00:56:20, 00:56:23, 00:56:36, 00:56:37, 00:56:50, 00:57:08, 00:58:41, 00:58:44, 00:58:48, 00:58:53, 00:59:14, 00:59:30, 00:59:30, 01:00:15. (a) Calculate the sample mean, sample variance, and standard deviation. (b) Find the median and quartiles for the data. (c) Construct a box plot of the data. Find the interquartile range.

a-triathlon-consisting-of-swimming-cycling-and-running-is-one-of-the-more-strenuous-amateur-sporting

A triathlon consisting of swimming, cycling, and running is one of the more strenuous amateur sporting events. The article "Cardiovascular and Thermal Response of Triathlon Performance" (Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 1988: 385 ) reports on a research study involving nine male triathletes. Maximum heart rate (beats/min) was recorded during perfor- mance of each of the three events. For swimming, the sample mean and sample standard deviation were 188.0 and $7.2,$ respectively. Assuming that the heart-rate distribution is (approx- imately) normal, construct a 98$\%$ CI for true mean heart rate of triathletes while swimming.

00:01 In this question, we have to label the diagram with the words given.
00:05 So this is the diagram of a triathlon race that takes place in the following way.
00:18 So it consists of the following points and tasks that take place in the race.
00:24 So they are as follows.
00:26 So the tasks are swimming, cycling, running.
00:41 The points covered are bridge, tunnel, central library, swimming route, cycle route, running route.
01:20 Now, the summary of the race is that the very first part of the race is swimming.
01:27 It is 1 ,500 meters and ends somewhere at the end of water.
01:39 That is on the place named as changeover point.
01:52 The second part of the race is cycling...
