Here's the solution for question 3:

Part a· 3 steps

Calculate the sector angle for the speed 60<s≤7060 < s \le 70.

  1. Find the total frequency.

    Total frequency is the sum of all frequencies:

    3+14+6+12+15=503 + 14 + 6 + 12 + 15 = 50
  2. Find the frequency for the speed 60<s≤7060 < s \le 70.

    The frequency for 60<s≤6460 < s \le 64 is 6.
    The frequency for 64<s≤7064 < s \le 70 is 12.
    So, the frequency for 60<s≤7060 < s \le 70 is 6+12=186 + 12 = 18.

  3. Calculate the sector angle.

    The sector angle is calculated as frequency for the grouptotal frequency×360∘\frac{\text{frequency for the group}}{\text{total frequency}} \times 360^\circ.

    1850×360∘=0.36×360∘=129.6∘\frac{18}{50} \times 360^\circ = 0.36 \times 360^\circ = 129.6^\circ

    The sector angle for the speed 60<s≤7060 < s \le 70 is 129.6∘\boxed{\text{129.6}^\circ}.

Part b

31\text{31}

Estimate the number of cars whose speed was less than 68 km/h68 \text{ km/h}.

  1. Sum the frequencies for speeds less than or equal to 64 km/h64 \text{ km/h}.

    Frequencies for 40<s≤5040 < s \le 50, 50<s≤6050 < s \le 60, and 60<s≤6460 < s \le 64 are 3, 14, and 6 respectively.
    Sum =3+14+6=23= 3 + 14 + 6 = 23.

  2. Estimate the frequency for speeds between 64 km/h64 \text{ km/h} and 68 km/h68 \text{ km/h}.

    The interval 64<s≤7064 < s \le 70 has a frequency of 12 cars over a range of 70−64=6 km/h70 - 64 = 6 \text{ km/h}.
    We need to estimate for the range 64<s≤6864 < s \le 68, which is 68−64=4 km/h68 - 64 = 4 \text{ km/h}.
    Estimated frequency for 64<s≤68=46×12=864 < s \le 68 = \frac{4}{6} \times 12 = 8.

  3. Add the frequencies.

    Total estimated number of cars with speed less than 68 km/h=23+8=3168 \text{ km/h} = 23 + 8 = 31.
    The estimated number of cars whose speed was less than 68 km/h68 \text{ km/h} is 31\boxed{\text{31}}.

Part c

51245\frac{51}{245}

Two cars are chosen at random. Calculate the probability that one car had a speed greater than 70 km/h70 \text{ km/h} and the other had the speed of 60 km/h60 \text{ km/h} or less.

  1. Find the number of cars with speed greater than 70 km/h70 \text{ km/h}.

    This corresponds to the interval 70<s≤8070 < s \le 80, which has a frequency of 15.

  2. Find the number of cars with speed 60 km/h60 \text{ km/h} or less.

    This corresponds to the intervals 40<s≤5040 < s \le 50 and 50<s≤6050 < s \le 60.
    Frequency =3+14=17= 3 + 14 = 17.

  3. Calculate the total number of cars.

    Total frequency =50= 50.

  4. Calculate the probability.

    Let A be the event that a car has speed >70 km/h> 70 \text{ km/h}. P(A)=1550P(A) = \frac{15}{50}.
    Let B be the event that a car has speed ≤60 km/h\le 60 \text{ km/h}. P(B)=1750P(B) = \frac{17}{50}.
    When two cars are chosen at random, the probability that one car had speed >70 km/h> 70 \text{ km/h} AND the other had speed ≤60 km/h\le 60 \text{ km/h} is given by:
    P(one A and one B)=P(A then B)+P(B then A)P(\text{one A and one B}) = P(A \text{ then } B) + P(B \text{ then } A)
    Since cars are chosen without replacement:
    P(A then B)=1550×1749P(A \text{ then } B) = \frac{15}{50} \times \frac{17}{49}
    P(B then A)=1750×1549P(B \text{ then } A) = \frac{17}{50} \times \frac{15}{49}
    So, the total probability is:

    2×1550×1749=2×310×1749=610×1749=35×1749=512452 \times \frac{15}{50} \times \frac{17}{49} = 2 \times \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{17}{49} = \frac{6}{10} \times \frac{17}{49} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{17}{49} = \frac{51}{245}

    The probability is 51245\boxed{\frac{51}{245}}.

Part d

Calculate an estimate of the mean speed.

  1. Find the midpoint for each speed interval.

    • 40<s≤5040 < s \le 50: Midpoint =40+502=45= \frac{40+50}{2} = 45
    • 50<s≤6050 < s \le 60: Midpoint =50+602=55= \frac{50+60}{2} = 55
    • 60<s≤6460 < s \le 64: Midpoint =60+642=62= \frac{60+64}{2} = 62
    • 64<s≤7064 < s \le 70: Midpoint =64+702=67= \frac{64+70}{2} = 67
    • 70<s≤8070 < s \le 80: Midpoint =70+802=75= \frac{70+80}{2} = 75
  2. Calculate the sum of (midpoint ×\times frequency).

    Sum =(45×3)+(55×14)+(62×6)+(67×12)+(75×15)= (45 \times 3) + (55 \times 14) + (62 \times 6) + (67 \times 12) + (75 \times 15)
    Sum =135+770+372+804+1125= 135 + 770 + 372 + 804 + 1125
    Sum =3206= 3206

  3. Calculate the total frequency.

    Total frequency =50= 50 (from part a).

  4. Estimate the mean speed.

    Mean speed =Sum of (midpoint × frequency)Total frequency= \frac{\text{Sum of (midpoint } \times \text{ frequency)}}{\text{Total frequency}}

    320650=64.12\frac{3206}{50} = 64.12

    The estimate of the mean speed is 64.12 km/h\boxed{\text{64.12 km/h}}.
