An instrument used to measure the airspeed on many early low-speed airplanes was a venturi duct with a convergent-divergent duct (the front section's cross sectional area decreases in the flow direction, and the back section's cross sectional area increases in the flow direction. There is a "throat" in which the area is minimum.). Let A1 and A2 denote the inlet and throat areas, respectively. Let P1 and P2 denote the pressure at the inlet and throat, respectively. If the area ratio is A2/A1 = 1/4 and P1 - P2 = 80 lb/ft2. If the aircraft is flying at standard sea level, what is the velocity in knots?

A radar unit is used to measure the speed of cars on a highway during rush hour traffic. The speeds of individual cars are normally distributed with a mean of 55 mph and a standard deviation of 3.2 mph. Find the probability of the following events: (a) A car traveling faster than average. (b) A car traveling over 65 mph (c) A car traveling between 48 and 50 mph.
