A radar unit is used to measure speeds of cars on a motorway. The
speeds are normally distributed with a mean of 90 km/hr and a
standard deviation of 10 km/hr. What is the probability that a car
picked at random is travelling at more than 100 km/hr?

Answer:
Let x be the random variable that represents the speed of cars.
x has μ=90,σ=10.
We have to find the probability that x is higher than 100 or P(x>100)
Given x,z=σx−μ.
Thus for x=100,z=10100−90=1
⇒P(x>100)=P(z=1)
= [total area]−[area to the left of z=1]
=1−0.8413 (from normal distribution table)
∴P(x>100)=0.1587
Hence the probability that a car selected at a random has a speed greater than 100 km/hr is equal to 0.1587.
