10.2 The Olympics 471

Extending Concepts Men’s Super Combined In the super combined, skiers compete in two events. The fi nishing times for the events are added together to determine the skier with the fastest combined time. The graphs show the fi nishing times for both events for the skiers with the top 6 combined times in 2010. In Exercises 21–23, use the graphs.

Downhill Times for Top Six Slalom Times for Top Six Overall Finishers Overall Finishers 115.50 52.40 115.06 51.89 115.00 114.70 52.00 114.50 114.20 51.60 51.43 51.44 114.00 113.88 113.91 51.20 51.05 113.65 51.01 50.76 113.50 50.80 113.00 50.40 Time (seconds) Time (seconds) Time 0 0

21. Find the combined time for each skier and make a bar graph showing the combined times from least to greatest. Who won the gold medal? the silver medal? the bronze medal?

22. Determine how many seconds the gold medalist fi nished ahead of each of the other skiers in the top six. Then graphically represent the information.

23. had the fastest fi nishing time in the downhill portion at 113.15 seconds, but he skied off course in the slalom and did not fi nish that portion. What fi nishing time in the slalom would have won him the gold medal? Compare this time to the fi nishing times in the slalom graph.

Women’s Super Combined The table shows the fi nishing times for the 2 events in the women’s super combined Times for Top Six Overall Finishers for the skiers with the top 6 combined times in 2010. in Women’s Super Combined, 2010 In Exercises 24–26, use the table.

What fi nishing time in the slalom would have won her the gold medal? Compare this time to the slalom fi nishing times for the top six overall fi nishers.
