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%

Rodney is given twi equations:x-y=11 and 2x+y=19
lozanna [386]

Answer:

x= 10 and y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite your second equation Y= -2x+ 19 then plug it into the first equation.

x- (-2x + 19) = 11

x + 2x - 19 =11

3x - 19 = 11

3x = 30

x = 10

The plug that answer into the first equation and solve.

10 - y = 11

-y = 1

y = -1

Use the laplace transform to solve the given initial-value problem. y' + y = (t − 1), y(0) = 3
GaryK [48]

In mathematics, the Laplace transform, named after its discoverer Pierre Simon Laplace, transforms a function of real variables (usually in the time domain) into a function of complex variables (in the time domain). is the integral transform that Complex frequency domain, also called S-area or S-plane).

What is the value of 2/3^-4
Reptile [31]

Answer:

\frac{16}{49}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve problems like this, we need to multiply the base ,\frac{2}{3} , the amount of times as the exponent, 4.

Essentially, the equation is \frac{2}{3} x \frac{2}{3}  x \frac{2}{3}  x \frac{2}{3} .

The product would be \frac{16}{49}.

Now we can't forget that the exponent is a negative. But because the exponent is an even number, we don't need to worry about that.

Hope this helped :)
