Answer 1

Option D). To find the speed at which the fastest 10% of drivers were caught exceeding in Statsville, we need to find the 90th percentile speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the fastest 10% of drivers fined for speeding in Statsville. To find the speed at which the fastest 10% were caught exceeding, we need to use percentiles.

First, we need to find the 90th percentile, which represents the speed below which 90% of drivers fall. The 90th percentile speed will be the speed at which the fastest 10% were caught exceeding.

Therefore, the answer is d) 20 mph.
