Answer: 11.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  On a stretch of Interstate-89, car speed is a normally distributed variable with \mu=69.1 mph and \sigma=3.3 mph.

Let x be a random variable that represents the car speed.

Since , z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z-score corresponds x = 73 , z=\dfrac{73-69.1}{3.3}\approx1.18

Required probability :

\text{P-value }: P(x>73)=P(z>1.18)\\\\=1-P(z

[using z-value table.]

Hence, the approximate percentage of cars are traveling faster than you = 11.9%

The mass of Saturn is 5.686 × 10^26 tonnes. The mass of Earth is 6.04 × 10²¹ tonnes. How many times heavier is Saturn than Earth
andrey2020 [161]
We simply divide the mass of Saturn with the mass of Earth.
5.686 x 10^26 / 6.04 x 10^21

The rule of significant figures when dividing numbers is that the least amount significant figures must be used in the quotient.

Therefore, Saturn is 9.41 x 10^4 times heavier than Earth.
