Estimate the probability of an event (empirical probability). A new drug is being tested that is supposed to lower cholesterol. This drug was given to 150 people. After the test period ended, 106 people had lower cholesterol, 8 people had higher cholesterol, and 36 people had no change in their cholesterol. Estimate the probability that after testing this drug a person's cholesterol will be lower.

A car is traveling on a curve that forms a circular arc. The force F needed to keep the car from skidding is jointly proportional to the weight w of the car and the square of its speed s, and is inversely proportional to the radius r of the curve. A car weighing 2,500 lbs travels around a curve at 70 mi/h. The next car to round this curve weighs 4,900 lbs and requires the same force as the first car to keep from skidding. How fast is the second car traveling?
