if a police officer pulls over 8 people

Question

if a police officer pulls over 8 people in a four hour period and 480 cars pass the point where the officer is sitting, what percentage of people have gotten a ticket today?

Answer 1

Impossible to tell. Being pulled over may result in only a warning.

 

But if you want 8/480 = 1/60 = 0.01667, then that is 1.67%, rounded.

 

The officer may be ignored if he's sitting and trying to pull over cars that are passing by!
