Suppose that 80% of drivers are "careful" and 20% are "reckless." Suppose further that a careful driver has a 0.2 probability of being in an accident in a given year, while for a reckless driver the probability is 0.5. What is the probability that a randomly selected driver will have an accident within a year? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)

A recent study has shown that approximately 31.6% of Canadians are considered 'supertasters,' or people who experience the sense of taste with greater intensity than average. Consider a sample of 23 Canadians, each of whom are asked to indicate if they are a supertaster or not. Please use this information to answer the following questions.a. Suppose you know that at least 7 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters. What is the probability that exactly 15 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters?Answer:______________Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary. b. What is the probability that the 10th Canadian sampled is the sixth person to indicate that they are a supertaster?Answer:______________Do NOT round your answer; give all the decimals.
