Question 4
​

​

Six vehicles run time trials on a 1 mile track.

​

The speed for the six vehicles are 10, 20, 15, 16, 25 and 22 mph, respectively.

​

  1. Calculate TMS and SMS based on these speeds.

  2. Which is the correct measure of mean speed in this situation?  TMS or SMS.

​

Verify that your answer to 2 above is correct by determining the mean speed from first principles.  In other words, calculate the mean speed by the total travel distance and travel time for the six vehicles combined.
