Do you tailgate the car in front of you? About 45% of all drivers will tailgate before passing, thinking they can make the car in front of them go faster. Suppose that you are driving a considerable distance on a two-lane highway and are passed by 8 vehicles. (a) Let r be the number of vehicles that tailgate before passing. Make a histogram showing the probability distribution of r for r = 0 through r = 8.

(b) Compute the expected number of vehicles out of 12 that will tailgate. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(c) Compute the standard deviation of this distribution. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

As a manager at a car insurance company, you know that out of every 100 drivers, there are 30 risky drivers and 70 safe drivers. A risky driver costs your company $5,000 per year to insure, and a safe driver costs only $500. You design a policy that you think will appeal to safe drivers and expect that out of every 100drivers insured by this policy, 20 will be risky drivers and 80 will be safe drivers. The price (premium)...
