In a 2012 Washington Post article entitled "Is College Too Easy? As Study Time Falls, Debate Rises," Daniel de Vise reports that "over the past half-century, the amount of time college students actually study, has dwindled from 24 hours a week to about 15... "No standard deviation is given, but let's assume that standard deviation is 2.5 hours.
1.) Suppose a college student is selected at random. Use the empirical rule to estimate how likely it is that this student studied between 10 and 17.5 hours per week.
2.) Suppose a college student is selected at random. Use the empirical rule to estimate how likely it is that this student studied between 17.5 and 20 hours per week.
3.) Suppose a college student is selected at random. Use the empirical rule to estimate how likely it is that this student studies more than 20 hours per week.

A group of Brigham Young University- Idaho Students collected data of the speed of vehicles traveling through a construction zone on a state highway, where the posted construction speed limit was 25 mph. The recorded speed for 14 randomly selected vehicles is given below.

b. comment on the appropriateness of using the Empirical Rule to make any general comments about the drivers speed.

d. determine the actuall percentage of drivers whose speeds are between 26 and 38 mph.

C++ Problem
Use the following global structure declaration as an example only. You will need to create your own data structure based on a database of your own design. For example, movies in a video collection, houses for sale, business appointments, etc. Your data structure should include a minimum of four fields. At least one field should be string, and one field should be numeric (int, or double).
Example Only
struct VEHICLE
{
string make;
string model;
int year;
int miles;
double price;
};
In main() create an array that has room that has room for 50 database records(i.e. an array of structures). Your program should support the following general menu choices –
Add Items (i.e. Add Vehicle)
List All Items (i.e. Show All Vehicles)
Q. Quit
Your program should implement a separate function to add items, and display items. For example,
void addVehicle(VEHICLE arr[], VEHICLE addItem, int pos);
adds vehicle item that is a structure to the pos position in the dealer array.
void displayAll(VEHICLE arr[], int n);
displays all vehicle info for the number of vehicles stipulated (i.e. 0 to n-1)
Notes: You are welcome to create one or more additional functions to support your program. For example, showMenu, or getMenuChoice might be useful. Also, you might create a function to collect information, for example, a getVehicleInfo function could populate a structure that was passed ByRef. Please note, in the example above, addVehicle is passed a structure variable in addition to the array. In this approach, addVehicle should take the passed structure variable and add it to the dealer array at the position stipulated. You will need to use an index variable that your program can use to keep track of the next available position in the dealer array. This index variable should be local to main(). So NO global variables please. You will need to update or increment this index variable everytime you call addVehicle. You can use this variable when calling addVehicle, and displayAll.
