Question

Police recorded the average speed of cars driving on a busy street by a school. For a sample of 25 speeds, it was determined that the average amount over the speed limit for the 25 speeds was 10.2 mph with a standard deviation of 8 mph. The 90% confidence interval estimate for this sample is 7.46 mph to 12.94 mph. a) What is the margin of error for this problem? b) What size sample is needed to reduce the margin of error to no more than \(\pm 1\)? a) The margin of error is 2.74 mph. b) The sample size should be at least speeds.
