a). We have to find the probability that its speed limit is 60 or 70 miles per hour.

     

  Given that the number of possible choices is 50.

 Then,

         

 P(60 or 70 miles) =

                                 

                             

 Hence, the probability that its speed limit is 60 or 70 miles per hour is 0.38.
