A railway line monitored 15% of its August train journeys to find their departure delay times. The results are shown below. It is given that 24 of these journeys were delayed by less than 2 minutes. a. How many journeys were monitored? b. Calculate an estimate of the number of these journeys that were delayed by: i. 1 to 3 minutes ii. 10 to 15 minutes. c. Show that a total of 2160 journeys were provided in August. d. Calculate an estimate of the number of August journeys that were delayed by 3 to 7 minutes. State any assumptions that you make in your calculations.

In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between stops. The more stops there are, the slower the train's average speed. To get an idea of this problem, calculate the time it takes a train to make a $9.0-\mathrm{km}$ trip in two situations: $(a)$ the stations at which the trains must stop are 1.8 $\mathrm{km}$ apart (a total of 6 stations, including those at the ends $) ;$ and $(b)$ the stations are 3.0 $\mathrm{km}$ apart $(4 \text { stations }$ total). Assume that at each station the train accelerates at a rate of 1.1 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ until it reaches 90 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ , then stays at this speed until its brakes are applied for arrival at the next station, at which time it decelerates at $-2.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} .$ Assume it stops at each intermediate station for 20 $\mathrm{s}$ .
In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between station stops. The more stops there are, the slower the train's average speed. To get an idea of this problem, calculate the time it takes a train to make a 15 km trip in two situations: Part A the stations at which the trains must stop are 3.0 km apart (a total of 6 stations, including those at the ends). Assume that at each station the train accelerates at a rate of 1.1 m/s2 until it reaches 94 km/h , then stays at this speed until its brakes are applied for arrival at the next station, at which time it decelerates at -2.0 m/s2 . Assume it stops at each intermediate station for 25 s . Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B the stations are 5.0 km apart (4 stations total). Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
