To analyze the speed variation on the local road, we start with the average speed of 50 mph. The speed varies by 6 mph depending on the day of the week, which could mean different speeds on different days.

Here’s a breakdown of the possible speeds:

  1. Maximum Speed: \[ \text{Average Speed} + \text{Variation} = 50 \text{ mph} + 6 \text{ mph} = 56 \text{ mph} \]

  2. Minimum Speed: \[ \text{Average Speed} - \text{Variation} = 50 \text{ mph} - 6 \text{ mph} = 44 \text{ mph} \]

Thus, depending on the day of the week, the speed can range from 44 mph to 56 mph.
