A vegetable burger is selected randomly from the group. Find the following probabilities:
(a) P(A)
(b) P(B)
(c) P(C)
(d) P(An B)
(e) P(AN BNC)
(f) P(AU B)
. A certain stretch of highway on the New Jersey Turnpike has a posted speed limit of 60 mph. A
survey of drivers on this portion of the turnpike revealed the following facts:
• 18% of the drivers were female
• 89% of the drivers were exceeding the speed limit by at least 5 mph (and subject to being
stopped)
• Of those speeding, 15% of the drivers were female

statements.
(b) Find the probability that a driver on this stretch of highway is female and exceeding the
speed limit.
