Question
What is the average speed of a hiker who walks 2 miles in 43 minutes, and how many miles would a hiker be able to hike on the Appalachian trail based on the regression equation y=15.04x+16.43?

To calculate the average speed of a hiker who walks 2 miles in 43 minutes, we can use the formula for average speed:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
First, we need to convert time from minutes to hours since speed is typically expressed in miles per hour (mph):
\[
43 \text{ minutes} = \frac{43}{60} \text{ hours} \approx 0.7167 \text{ hours}
\]
Now, we can calculate the average speed:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{2 \text{ miles}}{0.7167 \text{ hours}} \approx 2.79 \text{ mph}
\]
Now, for the second part of your question regarding how many miles a hiker would be able to hike on the Appalachian Trail based on the regression equation \( y = 15.04x + 16.43 \), it appears that this equation models distance (y) as a function of some variable \(x\). However, without knowing what \(x\) represents, it's impossible to provide a specific answer about how many miles a hiker could potentially hike.
If you have a specific value for \(x\) to use in the regression equation, please provide it, and I can help calculate \(y\).
