Question
Rude Drivers: Tailgating Do you tailgate the car in front of you? About 35% of all drivers will tailgate before passing, thinking they can make the car in front of them go faster (Source: Bernice Kanner, Are You Normal?,
St. Martin's Press). Suppose that you are driving a considerable distance on a two-lane highway and are passed by 12 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 = 12.
(b) Compute the expected number of vehicles out of 12 that will tailgate.
(c) Compute the standard deviation of this distribution.
