Problem 81E
A study carried out to investigate the distribution of total braking time (reaction time plus accelerator-to-brake movement time, in ms) during real driving conditions at 60 km/hr gave the following summary information on the distribution of times (“A Field Study on Braking Responses During Driving,” Ergonomics, 1995: 1903–1910):
What can you conclude about the shape of a histogram of this data? Explain your reasoning.

ANSWER:
Problem 81E
Answer:
Step1:
We have A study carried out to investigate the distribution of total braking time (reaction time plus accelerator-to-brake movement time, in ms) during real driving conditions at 60 km/hr gave the following summary information on the distribution of times (“A Field Study on Braking Responses During Driving,” Ergonomics, 1995: 1903–1910):
Mean = 535, Median = 500, Mode = 500
Standard deviation = 96, Minimum = 220, Maximum = 925
5th Percentile = 400, 10th percentile = 430
90th percentile = 640, 95th percentile = 720
