Part a· 3 steps
Calculate the sector angle for the speed .
Find the total frequency.
Total frequency is the sum of all frequencies:
Find the frequency for the speed .
The frequency for is 6.
The frequency for is 12.
So, the frequency for is .Calculate the sector angle.
The sector angle is calculated as .
The sector angle for the speed is .
Part b
Estimate the number of cars whose speed was less than .
Sum the frequencies for speeds less than or equal to .
Frequencies for , , and are 3, 14, and 6 respectively.
Sum .Estimate the frequency for speeds between and .
The interval has a frequency of 12 cars over a range of .
We need to estimate for the range , which is .
Estimated frequency for .Add the frequencies.
Total estimated number of cars with speed less than .
The estimated number of cars whose speed was less than is .
Part c
Two cars are chosen at random. Calculate the probability that one car had a speed greater than and the other had the speed of or less.
Find the number of cars with speed greater than .
This corresponds to the interval , which has a frequency of 15.
Find the number of cars with speed or less.
This corresponds to the intervals and .
Frequency .Calculate the total number of cars.
Total frequency .
Calculate the probability.
Let A be the event that a car has speed . .
Let B be the event that a car has speed . .
When two cars are chosen at random, the probability that one car had speed AND the other had speed is given by:
Since cars are chosen without replacement:
So, the total probability is:The probability is .
Part d
Calculate an estimate of the mean speed.
Find the midpoint for each speed interval.
