Police measure the speed of cars passing a particular point on a motorway.

The random variable X is the speed of a car.
X is modelled by a normal distribution with mean 55 mph (miles per hour).
(a) Draw a sketch to illustrate the distribution of X. Label the mean on your sketch.
(2)
The speed limit on the motorway is 70 mph. Car drivers can choose to travel faster than
the speed limit but risk being caught by the police.
The distribution of X has a standard deviation of 20 mph.
(b) Find the percentage of cars that are travelling faster than the speed limit.
(3)
The fastest 1% of car drivers will be banned from driving.
(c) Show that the lowest speed, correct to 3 significant figures, for a car driver to be
banned is 102 mph. Show your working clearly.
(3)
Car drivers will just be given a caution if they are travelling at a speed m such that
P(70

m) = 0.1315

(d) Find the value of m. Show your working clearly.
