In Statsville, there is a city-wide speed limit of 30 mph. If you are caught speeding, the fine is $100 plus $10 for every mile you go over the speed limit. For example, if you're ticketed for going 45 mph, your fine is 100+10(45-30)=$250. Last month, all the drivers who were fined for speeding averaged 42 mph with a standard deviation of 7 mph. What was the mean of the fines?
