Question

The township of Middleton sets the speed limit on its roads by conducting a traffic study and determining the speed (to the nearest 5 miles per hour) at which 80% of the drivers travel at or below. A study was done on Brown's Dock Road that indicated drivers' speeds follow a normal distribution with a mean of 36.25 miles per hour and a variance of 6.25.

Fill in Multiple Blanks

Do calculations in Excel. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the required precision. You can use the "Format Cells..." option in Excel to show the required number of decimal places (Excel will automatically round the number up or down).

  1. What should the speed limit (to the nearest 5 miles per hour) be? Blank 1 In your answer, show the whole number. Do not show any digits to the right of the decimal point. Apply the appropriate rounding rule if necessary.
  2. What percent of the drivers travel below the speed limit you indicated in part (a)? Blank 2 In your answer, show one (1) digit to the right of the decimal point, for example, 1.0, 1.2. Apply the appropriate rounding rule if necessary. Do not show the % sign.
