Use the empirical rule. the mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 70 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 66 miles per hour and 74 miles per hour. (assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.)

The focal length of a relaxed human eye is approximately 1.7 cm. when we focus our eyes on a close up object, we can change the refractive power of the eye by about 16 diopters. (a) does the refractive power of our eyes increase or decrease by 16 diopters when we focus closely? explain. (b) calculate the focal length of the eye when we focus closely.

Much of the information taught in earth-space science would not be available if it weren’t for our remote sensing abilities. explain two ways our remote sensing strategies contribute to our knowledge of these topics.
