ASSIGNMENT 7

1. On a road segment with a speed limit of 60 km/h it is estimated that the average traffic
speed is 98% of the speed limit. It will be proved that this estimate is true. Based on
samples taken from 61 random vehicles, the data obtained in column x.

Conclusion: reject H0, accept Ha
Thus, the average speed of traffic on a road segment with a speed limit of 60 km/h is equal
to 98% of the speed limit, which is 58.8 km/h.

Ideal value = 60 km/h

Test the data whether there is a difference between above average values and 60% of ideal
values!
Answer
Define Ha and H0 as sentences:
Ha: The average traffic speed is 60% of the ideal speed value
μ0 = 36 km/h
H0: Average traffic speed is not equal to 60% of ideal speed value
μ0 ≠ 36 km/h

speed (36 km/h).
