'Vehicle speeds at a highway location have a normal distribution with mean / 65 mph and standard deviation 5 mph. Find the probability that a randomly selected vehicle speed is greater than 73 mph:'

Suppose that the speed at which cars go on the freeway is normally distributed with mean 68 mph and standard deviation 5 miles per hour. Let X be the speed for a randomly selected car. Round all answers to two decimal places. If one of the cars is randomly chosen, find the probability that it is traveling between 65 and 75 mph.

Suppose driving speed (miles per hour) on CA60 approximately follows a normal distribution with mean 75 and standard deviation 4. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what's the probability that a randomly selected vehicle drive at a speed higher than 87 miles per hour? 0.3 0.025 0.003 0.0015
