1. Suppose that the average speed of cars driving down Cass avenue is normally distributed with mean 29mph and standard deviation 3mph. a. Find the probability that a car is driving at a speed slower than 26mph or greater than 32mph down Cass avenue. b. Find the probability that a car is driving at a speed between 23mph and 35mph down Cass avenue.

The wind speed in Laramie, Wyoming is normally distributed. The average wind speed for the state of Wyoming is approximately 20 mph. A curious student wanted to find out if the wind speed in Laramie was different than the state average. They took a sample of 25 random days in Laramie, measured the wind speed, and found an average of 18 mph with a standard deviation of 7.8 miles per hour. Test the claim that the average wind speed in...
