Question: Three different sections of the same Interstate highway, with roughly equal traffic volumes, have been patrolled by the State Police at different levels of intensity
Three different sections of the same Interstate highway, with roughly equal traffic volumes, have been patrolled by the State Police at different levels of intensity for the past six months. The posted speed limit is 55 and the speeds of random samples of motorists have been registered for each of the three sections. Are the differences in the average speed among the three highway sections (statistically) significant? Was more intensive patrolling effective?
