Question
The Simple Solution to Traffic
A study in 2017 showed that Metro Manila has the 3rd worst traffic among its Southeast Asian
neighbors. Government authorities are receiving several complaints from commuters due to
the worst transport connectivity and endless queueing and congestions among rail transit
stations. In this regard, aligning projects for the improvement of the traffic system as part of
the "Metro Manila Dream (MMD) Plan" was set into motion.
However, media reports claimed that many commuters did not feel any improvement in the current traffic
situation in the Metro, especially in Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA). The chair of the Metro Manila
Development Authority (MMDA) is keen to verify if the road traffic conditions are fairly improving in EDSA
despite various media reports. In the past, the recorded vehicular traffic speed in EDSA shows about 15 kph,
on the average.
To do this, the MMDA deployed speed measuring radars in which the traffic speeds of 200 randomly sampled
vehicles passing via EDSA during rush hour were each measured. In case you want to replicate the given
results from RCommander, the collected data can be accessed in the file Problem Set 4.1 Speed.xlsx
Given R Commander Outputs #1 and #2, provide
point estimate (with a measure of precision) of the
1.
true average vehicular traffic speed of vehicles passing via EDSA. Also, if possible, construct a 95%
confidence interval estimate for the parameter of interest. Using the confidence interval, is there sufficient
evidence to say that the average vehicular traffic speed in EDSA differed from the past record of 15kph?
