Final answer:
It is impossible to determine who ran the majority of their miles early on as there is no information on the distribution of miles over time for either James or Angie. Instead, the examples provided concern speed and distance calculations unrelated to the initial question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question does not provide enough information to determine who among James and Angie ran the majority of their miles early on during a time period. Running between 2 and 17 miles or between 2 and 15 miles does not indicate the distribution of these miles over time. To answer such a question, we would need a daily record of the miles run by each person or some indication of a pattern in their running behavior.
However, you mentioned various data points including a situation where 40 percent of runners ran at speeds of 7.5 miles per hour or slower, but this does not provide us with the distribution of James or Angie's running over time. Additionally, the other examples provided regarding distances, times, and speeds in different contexts also do not relate to the distribution of mileage over time for James or Angie.
With the examples supplied, we can calculate the total distances, speed or time taken in different situations if given complete and relevant data, but for James and Angie's comparative mileage distribution, we simply do not have the required information.
