Question
In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, 5000 reports of fatal automobile accidents were examined, and the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for each one. For these 5000 accidents, the average speed was 42 mph and the standard deviation was 15 mph. A histogram revealed that the vehicle speed at impact distribution was approximately normal.
a. Approximately what proportion of these vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph? (Hint: See Example 4.17.) b. Approximately what proportion of these vehicle speeds exceeded 57 mph?

- In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. In the following data pairs, A represents the cost of living index for utilities and B represents the cost of living index for transportation. The data are paired by metropolitan areas in the United States. A random sample of 46 metropolitan areas gave the following information.arrow_forwardIn this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal.
