Speed data collected on an urban roadway yielded a standard
deviation in speeds of
±5.6 mi/h.
(a) If an engineer wishes to estimate the average speed on the
roadway at
a 95% confidence level so that the estimate is within ±2 mi/h of
the true
average, how many spot speed observations should be
collected?
(b) If the estimate of the average must be within ±1 mi/h, what
should the
sample size be?

A speeding problem was identified on a stretch of road with a 40‐mph posted speed. A spot speed study of 100 vehicles during free flow conditions found the roadway had a 43 mph average speed, a 48 mph 85th percentile speed, with a standard deviation of 5.9 mph. The road was rebuilt to have narrower travel lanes and a follow up spot speed study of 120 vehicles found the new roadway had a 40 mph average speed, a 43 mph...
