Question
For a highway, the car's speed has a uniform distribution [50,90]. Cars are stopped if speed X is greater than 70(mph). The price of a speeding ticket is equal to Y = 15 + (1/10)X(X-70).
What is the probability that a stopped car is/was going faster than 85 mph?
For each car stopped, the Var(X) is equal to what?

Estimate the probability (to the nearest hundredth) that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige.Step 1Recall that the probability of an event based on relative frequency uses the formulaprobability of event = relative frequency = fn,where f is the frequency of the event occurrence in a sample of n observations. A total of 1040 people were surveyed and 634 considered the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Therefore, the sample size is n = . The event of interest is that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige. Therefore, the frequency f is equal to the number of adults who the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige, so f = (0.6096 answer is incorrect.) .arrow_forwardFor the residents in 2014, use R to calculate the interval with 99% certainty that the interval contains the actual population mean of the residents by census tracts. Type in the interval with keyboard. We also know that in each year, the number of residents by census tract in the State of Maryland follows a normal distribution, and the variance in the number of residents within the State of Maryland is the same for different years.
