Problem 1

The volume at a section of a 2 lane highway is 2000vph in each direction and the density is 50 vehicles per mile. A truck joins the traffic stream and travels a length of 5 miles at 20 mph before exiting the highway. The vehicles behind the truck produce a density of 110 vehicles/ mile and the flow rate is 1000 vph. How many vehicles are behind the truck before it leaves the highway.

Problem 2

Using Greenberg model of traffic flow theory:

us = c ln(kj /k)

Show that c = uo

Problem 3

Based on an entry-exit record in a gated parking lot, 275 cars parked during a typical day between 9 am and 6 pm. Of these cars 10% were parked for 1 hour, 35% for 2 hours, 25% for three hours and the remaining for 4 hours. About 15% of the bays are vacant on an average throughout the day. If the efficiency factor is 80 %, what is the space-hour demand and the number of parking spaces in the lot

The operator of a rock quarry is invited to bid on furnishing 42,000 cy of crushed aggregate for a job. The aggregate will be delivered to the job, which is 27 miles from the quarry. The aggregate will be loaded into trucks by a loader that can load at a rate of 75 cy/hr. The trucks will haul 18 cy/load at an average speed of 50 mi./hr loaded and 55 mi./hr empty. The estimated time to dump a load is 5 min. Assume a 45 min. effective hour for the loading and hauling operation.

The cost information for the job is: Royalty paid for aggregate = $1.35/cy Overhead = $0.75/cy Profit = $1.20/cy Loader = $85.00/hr Operator = $32.00/hr Trucks, each = $55.00/hr Truck driver, each = $28.00/hr Foremen = $35.00/hr

a) How many trucks are required? b) What resource dictates project duration. c) What should be the bid price per cubic yard using the economic way to conduct the project?

The Toylot company makes an electric train with a motor that it claims will draw an average of only 0.8 ampere (A) under a normal load. A sample of nine motors was tested, and it was found that the mean current was x = 1.30 A, with a sample standard deviation of s = 0.42 A. Do the data indicate that the Toylot claim of 0.8 A is too low? (Use a 1% level of significance.)

1. What are we testing in this problem? single mean or single proportion?

(a) What is the level of significance?

2. State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H0: μ = 0.8; H1:  μ > 0.8H0: μ = 0.8; H1:  μ0.8     H0: μ0.8; H1:  μ = 0.8H0: p = 0.8; H1:  p > 0.8H0: p = 0.8; H1:  p ≠ 0.8H0: p0.8; H1:  p = 0.8

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?

The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown σ.The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known σ.     The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown σ.The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known σ.


What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.

P-value > 0.2500.125 < P-value < 0.250     0.050 < P-value < 0.1250.025 < P-value < 0.0500.005 < P-value < 0.025P-value < 0.005


Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.


(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level α?

At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.     At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.


(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the toy company claim of 0.8 A is too low.There is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the toy company claim of 0.8 A is too low.
