Rural speed limits for all 50 states are indicated below:
60 mph: 1
65 mph: 18
70 mph: 18
75 mph: 13
Choose one state at random. Find the probability that its speed limit is:
a. 60 or 70 mph
Prob = (# of ways to succeed)/(# of possible choices) = (1+18)/50
-----
b. greater than 65 mph
Prob = (18+13)/50 = 31/50
--------------------
c. 70 miles per hour or less
Prob = (18 + 18 + 1) = 37/50
