- Braking test 2. For another test of the tires, a car made repeated stops from 60 miles per hour. The test was run on both dry and wet pavement, with results as shown in the table. (Note that actual braking distance, which takes into account the driver’s reaction time, is much longer, typically nearly 300 feet at 60 mph!) a) Write a 95% confidence interval for the mean dry pavement stopping distance. Be sure to check the appropriate assumptions and conditions, and explain what your interval means. b) Write a 95% confidence interval for the mean increase in stopping distance on wet pavement. Be sure to check the appropriate assumptions and conditions, and explain what your interval means.

SHOW FULL SOLUTION ! USE THE GIVEN DATA PROPERLY ! If no brakes are used immediately, an automobile with a starting velocity of 30 mph or 44 feet/s will collide with a person. If the driver is inebriated, he or she will be able to respond to the situation in three seconds. If the driver is not intoxicated, he or she can react for about 0.75 seconds. Determine the shortest stopping distance required for the driver (intoxicated, under influence of alcohol) to break on time if the automobile accelerates at -2 feet/s2.arrow_forward
