For the data provided in Exercise 27, find the probabilities that were requested using the empirical probability formula from Section 11-3.1 low do your answers compare to the results of Exercise 27? What can you conclude?
27. A researcher is studying reaction times in adult subjects that are alcohol-impaired in an effort to study the effects of impairment on driving. The amount of time 25 randomly selected adults take to react to a stimulus when they have a blood alcohol level of 0.08 was recorded and is displayed below. Use live classes; find the probability that a randomly selected driver with a blood alcohol of 0.08 will lake less than 1.5 seconds to react, and the probability that he or she will take between 2 and 4 seconds to react.
