Answer:

The probability that a particular driver had exactly two speeding violations is 0.009.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 2,000 licensed drivers revealed the following number of speeding violations;

           Number of Violations               Number of Drivers

                         0                                              1,910

                          1                                                46

                         2                                                 18

                         3                                                 12

                         4                                                  9

                         5 or more                                   5      

                        Total                                          2000  

Now, the data means that 1,910 drivers had 0 speeding violations and so on.

Now, we have to find the probability that a particular driver had exactly two speeding violations, that means;

Number of drivers having exactly two speeding violations = 18

 Total numbers of drivers = 2000

So, the required probability  =  [tex]\frac{\text{No. of drivers having two speeding violations}}{\text{Total no. of drivers}}[/tex]

                                               =  [tex]\frac{18}{2000}[/tex]  =  0.009
