2. A radar unit is used to measure speeds of cars on a motorway. The minimum and maximum speed limits for this motorway were defined as 55km/hr and 90km/hr respectively. Any driver violates these two speed limits will be fined. If the usual speeds are normally distributed with a mean of 88km/hr and a variance of 100km$^2$/hr, what is the probability that a driver will be fined for violating speed rules.

Step 1
We are given that $X$ follows a normal distribution with mean $\mu = 88$ km/hr and variance $\sigma^2 = 100$ km²/hr. Thus, the standard deviation is $\sigma = \sqrt{100} = 10$ km/hr. Show more…

A radar unit is used to measure speeds of cars on a motorway. The speeds are normally distributed with a mean of 90 km/hr and a variance of 100 km/hr. What is the probability that a car picked at random is travelling at more than 100 km/hr?

A radar unit is used to measure speeds of cars on a motorway. The speeds are normally distributed with a mean of 90 km/hr and a standard deviation of 10 km/hr. 1) What is the probability that a car picked at random is travelling at more than 100 km/hr? 2) What is the probability that is traveling at less than 70 km/hr?

A radar unit is used to measure the speeds of cars on a local highway. Suppose that the speeds are normally distributed with a mean of 95 km/hr and a variance of 225. What is the probability that a car, chosen at random, is travelling more than 100 km/hr?
