The State Police are trying to crack down on speeding on a
particular portion of the Massachusetts Turnpike. To aid in this
pursuit, they have purchased a new radar gun that promises greater
consistency and reliability. Specifically, the gun advertises ±
one-mile-per-hour accuracy 85% of the time; that is, there is a
0.85 probability that the gun will detect a speeder, if the driver
is actually speeding. Assume there is a 2% chance that the gun
erroneously detects a speeder...
