Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), “E” or “e” (used in scientific notation). NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker. 
Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where “a” and “b” need to have explicitly stated values. 
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a very visible group whose main focus is to educate the public about the harm caused by drunk drivers. A study was recently done that emphasized the problem we all face with drinking and driving. Five hundred accidents that occurred on a Saturday night were analyzed. Two items noted were the number of vehicles involved and whether alcohol played a role in the accident. The numbers are shown below:

                                                        Number of Vehicles Involved

What proportion of accidents involved alcohol and a single vehicle?

An ice cream vendor sells three flavors: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Forty five percent of the sales are chocolate, while 30% are strawberry, with the rest vanilla flavored. Sales are by the cone or the cup. The percentages of cones sales for chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, are 75%, 60%, and 40%, respectively. For a randomly selected sale, define the following events:

 = chocolate chosen

 = strawberry chosen

 = vanilla chosen

 = ice cream on a cone

ice cream in a cup

Find the probability that the ice cream was vanilla flavor, given that it was sold in a cup.  Place your answer, rounded to 4 decimal places, in the blank. For exampe, 0.3456 would be a legitimate entry.

Mrs. Smith’s reading class can read a mean of 175 words per minute with a standard deviation of 20 words per minute. The top 3% of the class is to receive a special award. Assuming that the distribution of words read per minute are normally distributed, what is the minimum number of words per minute a student would have to read in order to get the award? Place your answer, rounded to the nearest whole number, in the blank.    When entering your answer do not use any labels or symbols. Simply provide the numerical value. For example, 123 would be a legitimate entry. 

Using the standard normal curve, the Z- score representing the 99th percentile is 2.326.

The left half under the normal curve is slightly smaller than the right half.
