5. Is lack of sleep causing traffic fatalities? A study conducted under the auspices of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the average number of fatal crashes caused by drowsy drivers each year was 1550 (Business Week, January 26, 2015). Assume the annual number of fatal crashes per year is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 300 and a mean of 1550.
