Solution

(a)

To calculate : The probability that all are wearing seatbelts.

The required probability is 0.4437 .

Given information :

Highway safety experts estimate that 85% of drivers wear seatbelts. The police stop 5 cars at a roadblock.

Formula used :

In a binomial distribution,

  PX=k=nkpkqn−k , where X is the number of success in n trials, p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure.

Calculation :

According to the given information,

  n=5p=85%=0.85q=1−0.85=0.15k=5

Find the required probability.

  PX=5=550.8550.155−5=5!5!5−5!×0.855×0.150≈0.4437

Therefore, the required probability is 0.4437 .

(b)

To calculate : The probability that the 4th driver is the first one who is not belted in.

The required probability is 0.0783 .

Given information :

Highway safety experts estimate that 85% of drivers wear seatbelts. The police stop 5 cars at a roadblock.

Calculation :

According to the given information,

  n=5p=85%=0.85q=1−0.85=0.15k=5

The required probability will be,

  =0.8540.155−4=0.854×0.151≈0.0783

Therefore, the required probability is 0.0783 .

(c)

To calculate : The probability that at least one driver is not wearing a seatbelt.

The required probability is 0.5563 .

Given information :

Highway safety experts estimate that 85% of drivers wear seatbelts. The police stop 5 cars at a roadblock.

Formula used :

In a binomial distribution,

  PX=k=nkpkqn−k , where X is the number of success in n trials, p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure.

Calculation :

According to the given information,

  n=5p=85%=0.85q=1−0.85=0.15

At least one driver is not wearing a seatbelt means that all the five drivers will never wear the seat belt.

The required probability will be,

  PX<5=1−P(5)=1−0.4437=0.5563

Therefore, the required probability is 0.5563 .
