It has been determined that 5% of drivers checked at a road stop show traces of alcohol and 10% of drivers checked don't wear seat belts. In addition, it has been observed that two infractions are independent from one another. If an officer stops five drivers at random, then the probability that exactly two of the drivers have committed any of the two offenses is:

Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Golden Years Insurance is an insurance company. Golden Years Insurance wants to predict the probability of a senior citizen in the city of McDonald, Pa. having supplemental health insurance. Records from another city, Yellow, Pa. indicate that 703 of 3,000 senior citizens own supplemental health insurance. Golden Years Insurance company estimates the probability that a randomly selected male senior citizen owning supplemental health insurance is 0.45. Does this imply that the probability that a randomly selected female senior citizen owning supplemental health insurance is 0.55? Explain.

It was previously determined that given a person was from the region the probability they considered the team favorable was 0.7, and given that the person was not from the region, the probability they considered the team unfavorable was 0.28. Consider a collection of 35 people were surveyed, where 28 were from the region, and 7 people were from outside the region. a) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was favorable, what is the probability they were from the region? b) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was not favorable, what is the probability they were from the region?
