A random sample of truck speeds for 15 randomly selected truckstraveling on Route 95 in New Rochelle was taken. These are theresults (in miles per hour):57.3, 65.5, 51.3, 66.1, 74.8, 68.9, 63.9, 62.4, 56.4, 57.9, 55.2,57.2, 59.9, 66.9, 58.4Truck speeds on Route 95 are known to be normally distributed withan unknown mean of ๐œ‡ and an unknown standarddeviation ๐œŽ. (in miles per hour)Calculate the sample mean for this data. b) Calculate the sample standard deviation for thisdata. c) Calculate the maximum likelihood estimatefor ๐œŽ2 using this data. d) Calculate an unbiased estimate for ๐œŽ2 usingthis data. e) Calculate the sample median for this data. f) Suppose W has a t distribution with 14 degrees of freedom. IfP(W > t) = .09 then what is t? g) Suppose W has a t distribution with 14 degrees of freedom. IfP(W < t) = .09 then what is t? h) Calculate the 91st percentile of a standard normaldistribution. i) Compute an 82% confidence interval for ๐œ‡ using youranswers above. ( _____ , _____)
j) Compute an 82% prediction interval for ๐œ‡ using youranswers above. ( _____ , _____ )
k) Copy your R script or other comments for the above into thetext box here.
