A city is concerned that cars are not obeying school zones by speeding through them, putting children at greater risk of injury. The speed limit in school zones is 15 miles per hour. Throughout the course of one day, a police officer hides his car on a side street that intersects the middle of the school zone and records the speed of each car that passes through. Assume that the population standard deviation is 3 miles per hour. Use the data in Minitab to determine if cars are speeding through the school zone.
