Sequences, Induction, and Probability
Probability
It is estimated that one-quarter of the drivers on the road between 11 pm and midnight have been drinking in the evening. If a driver has not been drinking, the probability that they will have an accident at that time of night is 0.004%. If the driver has been drinking, the probability of an accident goes up to 0.02%. (a) What is the probability that a car selected at random at that time of night will have an accident? (b) A policeman on the beat at 11:30 pm sees a car run into a lamppost and jumps to the conclusion that the driver has been drinking. What is the probability that he is right?
