Highway Safety

Proper highway safety refers to the methods or rules that prevent highway travelers from being killed or severely injured. Proper highway safety measures help to protect motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, passengers on public transport, and so on.

Question

a.) Determine the average flow or arrival rate
b.) Determine the probability that one, two, three,
four, or five vehicles arrive in any one 15
second time interval.
c.) Determine the probability that more than five
vehicles arrive in any one 15 second time
interval.

3.) You are assigned to measure in seconds the arrival
of 15 vehicles at a certain point. You observed the
arrival of these vehicles in 2 minutes 15 seconds (135
seconds).

Sir Alfonse sent out five students to measure a distance between two points marked on the ground using their pace factor. The students came up with the following five different values: 50.13, 47.90, 51.04, 50.47, and 48.22 meters. Assuming these values are equally reliable and that variations result from accidental errors, determine the most probable value of the distance measured.
