To measure the spot speed of vehicles on a certain accident-prone location along MacArthur Highway, a trap length equal to 40 m long was set. The times in seconds clocked by an observer for 24 vehicles were: 3.5 2.6 3.2 4.0 3.8 2.4 2.5 3.0 3.1 2.7 3.4 2.2 2.8 3.5 2.5 3.6 3.7 2.9 2.8 2.4 3.9 3.1 3.2 3.4 Determine the spot speed or time mean speed. If the maximum speed limit at the location was set at 60 kph, determine the percentage of drivers violating the regulation? (Note: This is just an illustrative problem; more data are actually needed for this kind of analysis.)
