As part of a science project, you study traffic patterns in your city at an intersection in the middle of downtown. You set up a device that counts the cars passing through this intersection for a 24-hour period during a weekday. The graph of hourly traffics was discussed earlier.? d. Provide a hypothesis explaining the trend in numbers of cars over the course of the day.
Solutions
VerifiedThe reasons for the peak at 8 A.M. is because many people travel to work at that time, and the reason for the peak at 5-6 P.M. is the same people returning from work. The reason there is more traffic during the day than during the night, is because people are sleeping. That is why the number of cars continues decreasing after 6 P.M.
Because people usually travel to their jobs at around 8, that would explain the peak. The peak at 5 can be explained by people returning home from work.
