While riding his bike, Mike travels 10 miles at 30 mph, then an additional 20 miles at 10 mph. What is Mike's approximate average velocity for entire trip?

Do time = distance/speed individual so 10 miles/ 30mph = 1/3 hours and 20 miles/10mph= 2 hours so total time is 1/3 + 2 = 7/3 hours. Do average velocity so: 20 + 10/(7/3) = 13 mph.

If add any number of data points directly at the average, what happens to mean value?

Does not change

Dylan can paint wall in 4 hours, while Brett can paint same wall in 3 hours. If Dylan paints wall for 2 hours, how much time will it take Brett to finish painting wall?

Dylans rate of painting: 1 wall/4 hours and in 2 hours 1 wall/4 hrs * 2 hours = 0.5 walls -means that Brett has 0.5 walls to finish and his rate is 1 wall/3 hours. So to finish he does 0.5/(1/3) = 1.5 hours
