b)  2.76% probability the next driver texting while driving that the police officer pulls over is the fifth driver.

What is probability?

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

Using Binomial distribution,

[tex]P(x) = C_{n , x} * p^{x}* (1-p)^ {n-x}[/tex]

We have, p= 0.52

A) probability that exactly 3 drivers text while driving if a police officer pulls over five drivers

[tex]P(x) = C_{5 , 3} * (0.52)^{3}* (0.48)^ {2}[/tex]

P(x) = 10* 0.140608* 0.2304

P(x)= 0.3239

32.4% probability that exactly 3 drivers text while driving if a police officer pulls over five drivers.

B) probability the next driver texting while driving that the police officer pulls over is the fifth driver

[tex]P(x) = C_{4 , 0} * (0.52)^{0}* (0.48)^ {4}[/tex]

P(x) = 1 * 1 * 0.053084

P(x) = 0.053084

So, 0.0531*0.52 = 0.0276

Hence, 2.76% probability the next driver texting while driving that the police officer pulls over is the fifth driver.
