(choose chapter or problem)

Criminal Justice: Drunk Drivers Harpers Index reported that the number of (Orange County, California) convicted drunk drivers whose sentence included a tour of the morgue was 569, of which only 1 became a repeat offender. (a) Suppose that of 1000 newly convicted drunk drivers, all were required to take a tour of the morgue. Let us assume that the probability of a repeat offender is still p 1/569. Explain why the Poisson approximation to the binomial would be a good choice for r number of repeat offenders out of 1000 convicted drunk drivers who toured the morgue. What is l to the nearest tenth? (b) What is the probability that r 0? (c) What is the probability that r 1? (d) What is the probability that r 2? (e) What is the probability that r 3?
