Question: Problem 6 : Observers stationed at two sections x x and YY , 9 0 0 f t apart on a highway, record the arrival

Problem 6:
Observers stationed at two sections xx and YY,900ft apart on a highway, record the arrival times of five vehicles as shown in the accompanying table. If the total time of observation at xx was 90 sec, determine (a) the time mean speed, (b) the space mean speed, and (c) the flow at section XX in vehicles per hour. Because we want to study this specific 900-foot section, (d) which mean type is more relevant?
\table[[Vehicle,Section XX,Section YY],[A,T_(0),T_(0)+15.2sec],[B,T_(0)+10.1sec,T_(0)+26.4sec],[C,T_(0)+32.3sec,T_(0)+47.7sec],[D,T_(0)+52.8sec,T_(0)+68.1sec],[E,T_(0)+71.6sec,T_(0)+85.9sec]]
