Question 24 A car speeds past a police car parked on the side of the road. The police officer stops the car, and starts to write the driver a ticket for speeding. The driver said that they were only going 48 km/h in the 50 km/h zone. But the officer's radar gun recorded the car going 53 km/h. The radar gun has an uncertainty of 2 km/h. Which of the following statements is correct: ) It can not be determined if the car was indeed speeding since the range for the speed of the car is between 46 km/h and 55 km/h. There is not enough information given to answer this question. The car was not speeding and was going between 47.8 km/h and 48.2 km/h. The car was indeed speeding and was going between 52.8 km/h and 53.2 km/h. The car was not speeding and was going between 46 km/h and 50 km/h. The car was indeed speeding, and was going between 51 km/h and 55 km/h.
