State police believe that 70% of the drivers traveling on a major interstate highway

State police believe that 70% of the drivers traveling on a major interstate highway exceed the speed limit. they plan to set up a radar trap and check the speeds of 80 cars. using the 68-95-99.7 rule, draw and label the distribution of the proportion of these cars the police will observe speeding.

a) From the empirical rule we know that about 68% of the samples are between:

\mu_p -\sigma = 0.7-0.0512=0.6488

\mu_p +\sigma = 0.7+0.0512=0.7512

95% of the sample proportions would be between:

\mu_p -2\sigma = 0.7-2*0.0512=0.5976

\mu_p +2\sigma = 0.7+2*0.0512=0.8024

And 99.7 % would be between these limits:

\mu_p -3\sigma = 0.7-3*0.0512=0.5464

\mu_p +3\sigma = 0.7+3*0.0512=0.8536

And the figure attached explain the results obtained.

b) i) Independence condition of all the cars

ii) np>10 , 80*0.7=56>10

n(1-p)= 80(1-0.7)=24>10

We have all the conditions so then the normal model can be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we assume that the true parameter of interest on this case is p= proportion of drivers traveling on a major interstate highway exceeding the spped limit. For this case the mean and the deviation for the proportion is given by:

\mu_p = 0.7

\sigma_p =\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{80}}=0.0512

From the empirical rule we know that about 68% of the samples are between:

\mu_p -\sigma = 0.7-0.0512=0.6488

\mu_p +\sigma = 0.7+0.0512=0.7512

95% of the sample proportions would be between:

\mu_p -2\sigma = 0.7-2*0.0512=0.5976

\mu_p +2\sigma = 0.7+2*0.0512=0.8024

And 99.7 % would be between these limits:

\mu_p -3\sigma = 0.7-3*0.0512=0.5464

\mu_p +3\sigma = 0.7+3*0.0512=0.8536

And the figure attached explain the results obtained.

b) Do you think the appropriate conditions necessary for your analysis are met? Explain.

We assume the following conditions:

i) Independence condition of all the cars

ii) np>10 , 80*0.7=56>10

n(1-p)= 80(1-0.7)=24>10

We have all the conditions so then the normal model can be used.

Hi there!

The graph of the following equation is attached down below.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Besides giving you the straight up answer I want you to understand how to do this problem so in the future you can do similar question alike.

The equation given is y = 1/2x.

So to start you can pick any number for x. For example you can choose x to be zero, if x =0, y=0 so your first coordinate point is (0,0)

And from there you can continue choosing values for x and plotting the coordinate points onto the graph until you can form a line. Usually two points is enough to form a line.
