Question
A transportation engineering study requires the calculationof the total number of cars that pass through an intersection over a24-h period. An individual visits the intersection at various timeduringa day and counts the number of cars that passthrough the intersection in a minute. Utilize the data summarized as shown,estimate the total number of cars that pass throughthe intersection per day.(NOTE: RATE = CARS / MIN.)

For a single week, the highway patrol set up a hidden radar gun to measure how many cars break the speed limit after having numerous reports of accidents on this stretch of highway. The highway patrol needs to put together an action plan if the annual proportion of vehicles who break the speed limit is over 9%. However, they could only set up the radar gun for one week. Question-The sampling method used for this situation would most likely be considered 'convenience sampling.' Find a potential fault, bais, or hidden variable in the way this sample was conducted that might skew the results. -What is the sample size,What is the proportion of vehicles who broke the speed limit over this 1 week period from Bay Area to San Francisco? -Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of vehicles who break the speed limit annually. -Is…arrow_forwardPlease complete all work in excel.

A manager is trying to educate employees on the effects of personal health and workplace performance. The manager has gathered data from a group of employees to evaluate the effects of sleep and sickness. The manager asked employees to record the total number of hours of sleep they had over 10 working days in two weeks and compared it to the number of sick days that each took over those 10 days. Sick Days Total hours of sleep 0 80 2 40 1 60 0 70 3 50 2 90 4 35 1 68 0 72 2 55 The manager wonders if a non-linear model is a better relationship between the variables.
