We are to maintain a constant mean distance of ( d-avg ) to qualify for the cross-country biking expedition.
The qualification for the expedition is to rirde an average distance of:
[tex]d_{avg}\text{ }\ge\text{ 35 miles each for 5 consecutive day }[/tex]We are already on target for 4 days. For which we covered a distance ( d ) for each day:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{Day 1:}}\text{ 45 miles} \\ \text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{Day 2:}}\text{ 33 miles} \\ \text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{Day 3:}}\text{ 27 miles} \\ \text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{Day 4: }}\text{26 miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]We are to project how much distance we must cover atleast on the fifth day ( Day 5 ) so that we can qualify for the expedition. The only condition for qualifying is given in terms of mean distance traveled over 5 days.
The mean value of the distance travelled over ( N ) days is expressed mathematically as follows:
[tex]d_{avg}\text{ =}\sum ^N_{i\mathop=1}\frac{d_i}{N}[/tex]Where,
[tex]\begin{gathered} d_i\colon Dis\tan ce\text{ travelled on ith day} \\ N\colon\text{ The total number of days in consideration} \end{gathered}[/tex]We have the data available for the distance travelled for each day ( di ) and the total number of days in consideration ( N = 5 days ). We will go ahead and used the standard mean formula:
[tex]d_{avg}\text{ = }\frac{d_1+d_2+d_3+d_4+d_5}{5}[/tex]Then we will apply the qualifying condtion to cover atleast 35 miles for each day for the course of 5 days.
[tex]\frac{45+33+27+26+d_5}{5}\ge\text{ 35}[/tex]Then we will solve the above inequality for Day 5 - (d5) as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} d_5+131\ge\text{ 35}\cdot5 \\ d_5\ge\text{ 175 - 131} \\ \textcolor{#FF7968}{d_5\ge}\text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{ 44 miles}} \end{gathered}[/tex]The result of the above manipulation shows that we must cover a distance of 44 miles on the 5th day so we can qualify for the expedition! So the range of distances that we should cover atleast to qualify is:
[tex]\textcolor{#FF7968}{d_5\ge}\text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{ 44 miles}}[/tex]All covered distances greater than or equal to 44 miles will get us qualified for the competition!
