We need to reject the null hypothesis; there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean speed is greater than 65 miles / hour.
<h3>What is normal distribution?</h3>'Normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution wherein values lie in a symmetrical fashion mostly situated around the mean.'
According to the given problem,
Since the sample size is fairly large (n > 30), we use normal distribution.
The null hypothesis tested is
Mean speed of all cars ≤ 65 miles/hour. (µ ≤ 65)
The alternative hypothesis is
Mean speed of all cars > 65 miles/hour. (µ > 65)
Significance level = 0.05
The test statistic used is Z = - µ/σ / √ n, where
= 68.4, n = 40, σ = 5.7
Therefore, Z = 68.4 - 65 / 5.7 /√40 = 3.77254177
If the calculated value of test statistic is greater than the critical value at the 0.05 significance level,
Upper critical value = 1.644853627
P-value = P (Z > 3.77254177) = 0.000080796
Hence, we can conclude that we should reject the null hypothesis since there is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean speed is greater than 65 miles / hour.

Answer:
Mr. Drew needs 167.3 ft of wood
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a square is
where
b is the length side of the square
we have
substitute in the formula and solve for b
square root both sides
To determine the total length of wood , calculate the perimeter of the sandbox
The perimeter of the sandbox is equal to the perimeter of 5 squares
so
substitute the value of b
therefore
Mr. Drew needs 167.3 ft of wood
