5. A car travels along a banked road with a constant speed, the mass of the car is m~N(700,52) kg, and the coefficient of static friction μs =0.48.  What is the probability that the car will slip?

Solution

Since m follows normal distributions with m~N(700,52) kg and μs =0.48, we have

Thus, the distribution of friction force at A is: .                                              

We construct function Y as

Thus

The probability that the motorcycle might fall is

                                                                                                      Ans.
