Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The total numbers of drivers are n(U)=150.

The number of drivers that had no accidents is n(S)=115.

The numbers of drivers that had at least one traffic violation are n(V)=46.

The numbers of drivers that have one violation and accident in the past year are n(A)=21.

(a)

The expression for the probability that the selected driver had no accident and no violation in the past year is,

PX=nS-nV-nAnS

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

PX=115-46-21150=90150=0.6

 

Thus, the probability that the selected driver had no accident and no violation in the past year is 0.6.
