A police radar gun is used to measure the speeds of cars on a highway. The speeds of cars are normally distributed with a mean of 55 mi/hr and a standard deviation of 5 mi/hr. Roughly what proportion of cars are driving between 60 and 70 mi/hr? Round to the nearest thousandth) Group of answer choices

Answer:

Approximately [tex]0.157[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]X[/tex] denote the speed of a car. The question is asking for [tex]P(60 \le X \le 70)[/tex].

That probability is equal to [tex]P(X \le 70)- P(X \le 60)[/tex].

Find each of [tex]P(X \le 60)[/tex] and [tex]P(X \le 70)[/tex] using a [tex]Z[/tex]-table.

Calculate the [tex]Z[/tex] value for [tex]x = 70[/tex] and [tex]x = 60[/tex]:

At [tex]x = 70[/tex], [tex]\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{60 - 55}{5} = 3[/tex].

At [tex]x = 60[/tex], [tex]\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{70 - 55}{5} = 1[/tex].

In other words: [tex]P(X \le 70) = P(Z \le 3)[/tex] whereas [tex]P(X \le 60) = P(Z \le 1)[/tex].

Look up [tex]P(Z \le 3)[/tex] and [tex]P(Z \le 1)[/tex] on a [tex]Z[/tex]-table. The question is asking that the answer be rounded to the nearest thousandth. Therefore, keep at least more decimal places than that in intermediate values.

[tex]P(Z \le 3) \approx 0.9987[/tex] and [tex]P(Z \le 1) \approx 0.8413[/tex].

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned}P(60 \le X \le 70) &= P(X \le 70)- P(X \le 60) \\ &= P(Z \le 3) - P(Z \le 1) \approx 0.157\end{aligned}[/tex].

A student wants to determine if different types of soil, A and B, affect the propagation of African violets. One hundred leaves from the same variety of African violet were selected. The leaves were then randomly assigned to 50 pots with type A soil and the remaining leaves were put into the 50 pots with type B soil. All of the pots were given the same amount of water and arranged in 10 rows of 10 pots near a window for light. The 50 pots with type A soil were placed closest to the window. At the end of two months, the pots with type A soil had the greatest number of pots with new growth, so the student concluded that soil type A was more effective that soil type B.

Is this a valid conclusion?

Yes, because the leaves were randomly assigned, this evenly distributed the variability in the leaves; therefore, type A soil is more effective than type B soil.

Yes, because the amount of water and light were controlled, this may have reduced the variability in the response; therefore, type A soil is more effective than type B soil.

No, because the pots with type A soil were closest to the window, they received more light, which may have led to the new growth.

No, because only African violets were used, replication was not properly implemented; therefore, we cannot conclude that type A soil was more effective.
