 * __ Problem 2.1 __**was about the students that began their bike tour near the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their goal for the first day was to reach Atlantic City, New Jersey, Sidney, Liz, Sarah, Celia, and Malcolm rode their bicycles. Theo and Tony followed along in a Van with the camping gear and repair equipment. Tony recorded the distance reading on the van’s trip odometer every half hour from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. The table of Tony’s recordings are underneath.=====

In problem 2.1 we had to summarize the data which is up on the top, that Tony recorded. From looking at this table the total distance, which is 89 miles compared to the total time, which is 7 hours is a good long tour. The pattern I see from this table is that they go in a very far distance to very low and also that in every 30 minutes there distance is at least more than 2. These were the quetions that we had to put in the summary...


 * __How far did the riders travel in a day? How much time did it take them?__**

They had travled 89 miles, and it took them total 7 hours.


 * __During which time interval(s) did the riders make the most progress? The least progress?__**

They made the most progress at 9:00 A.M. and at 10:30 A.M. They made the least progress at 10:00 A.M. at 3:00 P.M. and at lunch time.


 * __Did the riders go further during the first half or the second half of the day’s ride?__**

I said that they had gone further during the first half, by looking at the table.

__** Problem 2.1 follow up **__ was to describe our jumping jack data we recorded in problem 1.1 and the data Tony collected.
I said that in both
