2. A group of Brigham Young University—Idaho students collected data on the speed of vehicles traveling through a construction zone on a state highway, where the posted speed was 25 mph. The recorded speed (in mph) of 14 randomly selected vehicles is given below. 20, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 40
a) Assuming speeds are approximately normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of drivers in this construction zone. Interpret the interval.
b) What conclusions do you draw about the speeds people drive in this construction zone?

6. A construction zone on a highway has a posted speed limit of 40 Kilometers per hour. The speeds of the vehicles passing through this construction zone are normally distributed with a mean of 46 kilometers per hour and a standard deviation of 4 kilometers per hour. Find the percentage of vehicles passing through this construction zone that are: a) exceeding the posted speed limit b) traveling at speeds between 50 and 57 kilometers per hour. 7. A machine at...
