Chapter 21, Problem 31E
Stopping distance A tire manufacturer tested the braking performance of one of its tire models on a test track. The company tried the tires on 10 different cars, recording the stopping distance for each car on both wet and dry pavement. Results are shown in the table.
T
| Stopping Distance (ft) | ||
| Car # | Dry Pavement | Wet Pavement |
| 1 | 150 | 201 |
| 2 | 147 | 220 |
| 3 | 136 | 192 |
| 4 | 134 | 146 |
| 5 | 130 | 182 |
| 6 | 134 | 173 |
| 7 | 134 | 202 |
| 8 | 128 | 180 |
| 9 | 136 | 192 |
| 10 | 158 | 206 |
- a) Write a 95% confidence interval for the
mean dry pavement stopping distance. Be sure to check the appropriate assumptions and conditions, and explain what your interval means. - b) Write a 95% confidence interval for the mean increase in stopping distance on wet pavement. Be sure to check the appropriate assumptions and conditions, and explain what your interval means.
