We let k be the proportionality constant for the relationship between number of hours, h and speed of the walker, s.
h = k/s
Substituting the known values,
12 = k/5
k = 60
For the second scenario,
h = k/s
Substituting the calculated value for k and the given value for speed,
h = (60)(3 miles/hour)
h = 20 hours
h = 20 hours
Therefore, it will take 20 hours to walk with a speed of 3 miles per hour.
the answer for this is 20.8558
Question Completion:
How are the percentages distributed? Is the distribution skewed? Are there any gaps? (Select all that apply.)
Answer:
1. The percentages are concentrated from 20% to 60%.
2. These data are strongly skewed left.
3. There are no gaps in the data.

Answer:
$393.50+/-$19.72
= ( $373.78, $413.22)
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = ($373.78, $413.22)
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.
The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.
x+/-zr/√n
Given that;
Mean x = $393.50
Standard deviation r = $50.30
Number of samples n = 25
Confidence interval = 95%
z value(at 95% confidence) = 1.96
Substituting the values we have;
$393.50+/-1.96($50.30/√25)
$393.50+/-1.96($10.06)
$393.50+/-$19.7176
$393.50+/-$19.72
= ( $373.78, $413.22)
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = ($373.78, $413.22)
