Later, the teaching assistant in cho’s physics course gives her some advice. "based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 25 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour." for simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading. given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading?

Jamie is hiking up a small mountain. he climbs up at a constant rate of 300 feet/hour until he reaches the peak at 1,500 feet. after that, he hikes down at the same rate to the base of the mountain. the equation that models jamie’s elevation, e, after t hours is e = . jamie’s elevation will be 600 feet after hours and after hours.

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.
