- To finalize the direction of a survey, four surveyors set up a theodolite at a station P and performed all the temporary adjustments. From the station P, each of the surveyors observed the bearing to a tower located at station Q with the same instrument without shifting it. The bearings observed by the surveyors are 30° 30' 00", 30° 29′ 40′′, 30° 30′ 20′′ and 30° 31′ 20′′. Assuming that each measurement is taken with equal precision, the most probable value of the bearing is

A one-way, single lane road has traffic that consists of 30% trucks and 70% cars. The speed of trucks (in km/h) is a uniform random variable on the interval (30, 60), and the speed of cars (in km/h) is a uniform random variable on the interval (40, 80). The speed limit on the road is 50 km/h. The percentage of vehicles that exceed the speed limit is ........ (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
