Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 32E
Stopping distance 60 For another test of the tires in Exercise 31, a car made repeated stops from 60 miles per hour. The test was run on both dry and wet pavement, with results as shown in the table. (Note that actual braking distance, which takes into account the driver’s reaction time, is much longer, typically nearly 300 feet at 60 mph!)
a) Write a 95% confidence interval for the
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.

independent?
(b) Demonstrate that if X and Y are independent, then it follows that E(XY) =
E(X)E(Y);
(e) Show by a counter example that the converse of (ii) is not necessarily true.
