Question

A car's velocity, in mph, is recorded simultaneously by five different sensors, with the results: 45, 46, 46, 45, 48. Estimate a range of values in which the car's true velocity is likely to lie.

Answer 1

Answer: $45-48\ \text{mph}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Car velocity is given by $45, 46, 46, 45, 48$

The range of a given set of data is given by

$\text{Range=Max-min. value}$

Maximum velocity=48

Minimum velocity=45

The Range of velocity is

$\Rightarrow 48-45=3$

Velocity lies between $45-48\ \text{mph}$
