Cell phones:

A proud legislator claims that your state's new law against talking on a cell phone while driving has reduced cell phone use to less than 12% of all drivers. While waiting for your bus the next morning, you notice that 4 of the 10 people who drive by are using their cell phones.

Does this cast doubt on the legislator s figure of 12%? Use a simulation to estimate the likelihood of seeing at least 4 of 10 randomly selected drivers talking on their cell phones if the actual rate of usage is 12%. Explain your conclusion clearly.
