Car speeds again. For the car speed data of Exercise 18, recall that the mean speed recorded was 23.84 mph, with a standard deviation of 3.56 mph. To see how many cars are speeding, John subtracts 20 mph from all speeds.
a) What is the mean speed now? What is the new standard deviation?
b) His friend in Berlin wants to study the speeds, so John converts all the original miles-per-hour readings to kilometers per hour by multiplying all speeds by 1.609 (km per mile). What is the mean now? What is the new standard deviation?
Exercise 18
Car speeds. John Beale of Stanford, CA, recorded the speeds of cars driving past his house, where the speed limit read 20 mph. The mean of 100 readings was 23.84 mph, with a standard deviation of 3.56 mph. (He actually recorded every car for a two-month period. These are 100 representative readings.)
a) How many standard deviations from the mean would a car going under the speed limit be?
b) Which would be more unusual, a car traveling 34 mph or one going 10 mph?
