Check the model. The mean of the 100 car speeds in Exercise 20 was 23.84 mph, with a standard deviation of 3.56 mph.
a) Using a Normal model, what values should border the middle 95% of all car speeds?
b) Here are some summary statistics.

From your answer in part a, how well does the model do in predicting those percentiles? Are you surprised? Explain.
Exercise 20
Car speeds again. For the car speed data of Exercise 18, recall that the mean speed recorded was 23.84 mph, with a standard deviation of 3.56 mph. To see how many cars are speeding, John subtracts 20 mph from all speeds.
a) What is the mean speed now? What is the new standard deviation?
b) His friend in Berlin wants to study the speeds, so John converts all the original miles-per-hour readings to kilometers per hour by multiplying all speeds by 1.609 (km per mile). What is the mean now? What is the new standard deviation?
