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%

Point Q is the center of dilation. Line segment L M is dilated to created line segment L prime M prime. The length of L Q is 4 a
koban [17]

Answer:

The length of segment QM' = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Q is the center of dilation

Pre-image (original image) = segment LM

New image = segment L'M'

The length of LQ = 4

The length of QM = 3

The length of LL' = 4

The original image was dilated with scale factor = 2

QM' = ?

To determine segment QM', first we would draw the diagram obtained from the given information.

Find attached the diagram

When a figure is dilated, we would have similar shape in thus cars similar triangles.

Segment L'M' = scale factor × length of LM

Let LM = x

L'M' = 2x

Using similar triangles theorem, ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

QM/LM = QM'/L'M'

3/x = QM'/2x

6x = QM' × x

Q'M' = 6

The length of segment QM' = 6

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Seventh grade: Total = 3 + 7 = 10

Number of boys = 7 boys

Probability of a boy being picked = 7/10

Eighth grade: Total 5 + 5 = 10

Number of boys = 5

Probability 5/10 = 1/2

The probability of the correct outcome = 7/10  *  1/2  = 7 / 20

Answer: 7 / 20
