TO be on the 1-km race team, Celia must have a mean time less than 5 min 50 secs in 6 tryout games. Her times in 5 races are: 6 min 2 s, 5 min 53 s, 5 min 53 s, 5 min 45 s, 6 min, and 5 min 34 s. WHat itme should Celia aim for in her sixth race to make the team. Is this possible? Explain. HELP PLZ AND THANK U:)

Her total time for 6 races must be under

6 x (5 5/6 min) = 35 min

Total time for the first five races is already ---. (Add them up). You seem to have made a mistake and listed six times, with 5 min 53 s appearing twice. Subtract the sum of her FIVE times from 35 minutes to find out how fast she must run the sizth race.

If the 5min 53 s time as supposed to appear only once, her total times so far add up to 27 min 134 s = 29 min 14 s. The last race must be run in under 5 min 46 s. That should be possible, since she has run that fast before.

plz help TIRREEEDDD NEED ASSISTANCE. sorry im a little pushy but NEED HELP!!

alright that's fine jus thelp everyone else out first. don't help me. :(

thanks for the help...

really didn't need to do anything to figure this out...
:D

thanks drwls

lol lol

To determine the time Celia should aim for in her sixth race to make the team, we need to calculate the mean time of her six tryout games and compare it to the condition given. Let's walk through the steps:

Step 1: Find the sum of Celia's times in the first five races.
- 6 min 2 s + 5 min 53 s + 5 min 53 s + 5 min 45 s + 6 min = 29 minutes + 33 seconds

Step 2: Add the time of the fifth race to the sum.
- 29 min 33 sec + 5 min 34 sec = 35 minutes + 7 seconds

Step 3: Find the mean time by dividing the sum by the number of races.
- 35 min 7 sec ÷ 5 races = 7 minutes + 1.4 seconds

Step 4: Determine the time Celia needs to aim for in her sixth race.
- To find the mean time for six races, multiply the mean time for five races by six and subtract the sum of her first five races.
- (7 min 1.4 sec × 6) - (29 min 33 sec + 5 min 34 sec) = 42 minutes + 4.8 seconds - 34 minutes - 7 seconds = 7 minutes + 58.8 seconds

Celia needs to aim for a time of 7 minutes and 58.8 seconds or less in her sixth race to make the team.

Now, let's determine if it is possible for Celia to achieve this.

Based on her previous race times, she has not yet achieved a time below 5 minutes and 50 seconds, which is the criteria for making the team. Therefore, it is unlikely for Celia to reach the required time of 7 minutes and 58.8 seconds or less in her sixth race and make the team. However, it is not explicitly mentioned whether these are all her tryout games or if there is one more race remaining. If there is another race remaining, Celia still has a chance to make the team if she performs exceptionally well and achieves a time below 7 minutes and 58.8 seconds.
