A construction zone on Interstate 15 has a speed limit of 40 mph. The speeds of vehicles passing through this construction zone

are normally distributed with a mean of 44 mph and a standard deviation of 3 mph.
Required:
a. Find the percentage of vehicles who pass through this construction zone who are exceeding the posted speed limit.
b. What percentage of vehicles travel through this construction zone with speeds between 50 mph and 55 mph?

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%

Amiraneli [1.4K]
Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
  sin(α) = 3/4
and
  cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4

The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
  (440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph
