Answer:

a. The percentage of vehicles who pass through this construction zone who are exceeding the posted speed limit =90.82%

b. Percentage of vehicles travel through this construction zone with speeds between 50 mph and 55 mph= 2.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find

a) P(X>40)= 1- P(x=40)

Using the z statistic

Here

x= 40 mph

u= 44mph

σ= 3 mph

z=(40-44)/3=-1.33

From the  z-table   -1.67 = 0.9082

a) P(X>40)=

Probability exceeding the speed limit = 0.9082 = 90.82%

b) P(50<X<55)

Now

z1 = (50-44)/3 = 2

z2 = (55-44)/3= 3.67

Area for z>3.59 is almost equal to 1

From the z- table we get

P(55 < X < 60) = P((50-44)/3 < z < (55-44)/3)

     = P(2 < z < 3.67)

     = P(z<3.67) - P(z<2)

     = 1 - 0.9772

     = 0.0228

or 2.28%

  • ∠S≅∠T, ∠R≅∠V
  • m∠S = m∠T = 54°
  • m∠R = 180° - 54° = 126°

<u>Midsegment is half the sum of the base lengths</u>

  • ST = 1/2(FP + EQ)
  • 3.1 = 1/2(2.7 + EQ)
  • 2.7 + EQ = 6.2
  • EQ = 6.2 - 2.7
  • EQ = 3.5
