Question

Vehicle speed on a particular bridge in China can be modeled as normally distributed.

(a)

If 5% of all vehicles travel less than 39.17 m/h and 10% travel more than 73.22 m/h, what are the mean and standard deviation of vehicle speed? (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(b)

What is the probability that a randomly selected vehicle's speed is between 50 and 65 m/h? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c)

What is the probability that a randomly selected vehicle's speed exceeds the speed limit of 70 m/h? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
