7.speed trap on the highway set by the O.P.P. shows that the mean speed of cars is 103.4 km/h with a standard deviation of 9.8 km/h. The posted speed limit on the highway is 100 km/h.

a)What percentage of drivers are technically driving under the speed limit?

b)Speeders caught traveling 25 km/h or more over the speed limit are subject to a $5000 fine. What percentage of speeders will be fined $5000?

c)Police officers tend not to pull over drivers between 100 km/h and 110 km/h. What percentage of drivers is this?

d)The top 2% of all drivers speeding are subject to losing their license. According to the data, what speed must a driver be traveling to lose his or her license?

8.A lacrosse team has been in its premier league for the last 47 seasons. During this time they have a mean number of wins of 17.3 and a standard deviation of 2.2 wins.

b)What is the probability of the lacrosse team getting between 15 and 18 wins?

9.A cruise ship has a 74% chance of having leftover rooms the week before the cruise. There are 25 cruise ships setting sail this month.

a)Is it possible to approximate this binomial distribution using a normal approximation?

b)What is the mean and the standard deviation for this approximation?

c)What is the probability that exactly 20 cruise ships will have leftover rooms using the normal approximation?

d)How different is the normal approximation from the binomial distribution value? Calculate the probability that exactly 20 cruise ships will have leftover rooms using the binomial method.

Part D: Thinking/Inquiry

10.A game of chance requires the player to throw a 6-sided die and a 12-sided die.

a)Create a probability histogram for this distribution.

b)The player pays $5 to play and wins $10 for any odd roll and wins nothing for any even roll. Calculate the expected winnings for the player and determine if this is a fair game or not.

11.
