Suppose the speeds of cars along a stretch of I-40 is normally distributed with a mean of 70 mph and standard deviation of 5 mph. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to answer the following questions.
(a) Approximately what percent of cars are travelling between 65 and 75 mph? percent
(b) If the speed limit on this stretch of highway is 65 mph, approximately what percent of cars are traveling faster than the speed limit? percent
(c) What percent of cars are traveling at a speed greater than or equal to 80 mph? (Answer to one decimal place.)
(d) What percent of cars are traveling at a speed greater than 80 mph? (Answer to one decimal place.) percent
(e) 95% of cars are traveling between what two speeds? (Answer to two decimal places) Between mph and mph

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 68%.

b) 84%.

c) Approximately 2.5% of cars are traveling at a speed greater than or equal to 80 mph.

d) Approximately 2.5% of cars are traveling at a speed greater than or equal to 80 mph.

e) Between 60 mph and 80 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 70 mph, standard deviation of 5 mph.

(a) Approximately what percent of cars are travelling between 65 and 75 mph?

70 - 5 = 65

70 + 5 = 75

Within 1 standard deviation, so approximately 68%.

(b) If the speed limit on this stretch of highway is 65 mph, approximately what percent of cars are traveling faster than the speed limit?

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are below the mean, and 50% are above.

65 is one standard deviation below the mean, so of the cars below the mean, 68% are above 65 mph.

0.68*50% + 50% = 34% + 50% = 84%.

84%.

(c) What percent of cars are traveling at a speed greater than or equal to 80 mph?

80 = 70 + 2*10

2 standard deviations above the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Due to the symmetry of the normal distribution, of the other 5%, 2.5% is at least 2 standard deviations below the mean and 2.5% is at least 2 standard deviations above the mean. Then:

Approximately 2.5% of cars are traveling at a speed greater than or equal to 80 mph.

(d) What percent of cars are traveling at a speed greater than 80 mph?

Same as item c, as in the normal distribution, the probability of an exact value is considered to be 0.

(e) 95% of cars are traveling between what two speeds?

Within two standard deviations of the mean.

70 - 2*5 = 60 mph

70 + 2*5 = 80 mph.

Between 60 mph and 80 mph.

A 40 g ball of yarn is 125 m long. What is the mass of a ball of the same yarn that is 2 km long?

Answers

Answer:

640g

Step-by-step explanation:

1000m=1km so 125m times x= 2km x is 16 so we multiply 16 by 40 to get 640 g

The mass of 2 km long yarn ball is 640.

What is mass?

A measure of how much matter is in an object. This gold bar is quite small but has a mass of 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds), so it contains a lot of matter.

Given

40 g ball of yarn is 125 m long

To find mass for 2 km = 2000 m long yarn

[tex]\frac{40}{125} \ 2000[/tex]   =   [tex]\frac{80000}{125}[/tex]    =     640g

Hence, The mass of 2 km long yarn ball is 640.

The fraction after the division is A = 46 / 15

What is a Fraction?

An element of a whole is a fraction. The number is represented mathematically as a quotient, where the numerator and denominator are split. Both are integers in a simple fraction. A fraction appears in the numerator or denominator of a complex fraction. The numerator of a proper fraction is less than the denominator.

Given data ,

Let the first fraction be p = 2 7/9

Let the second fraction be q = 5/6

Now , A = p/q

On simplifying the equation , we get

A = 2 7/9 / 5/6

A = ( 25/9 ) / ( 5/6 )

A = ( 25/9 ) x ( 6/5 )

On simplifying , we get

A = 138/45

A = 46 / 15

Hence , the fraction is A = 46/15
