Speeding A newspaper report in August 2002 raised the issue of racial bias in the issuance of speeding tickets. The following facts were noted:

. Sixteen percent of drivers registered in New Jersey are black.

. Of the 324 speeding tickets issued in one month on a 65-mph section of the New Jersey Turnpike, 25% went to black drivers.

1. Is the percentage of speeding tickets issued to blacks unusually high compared with the state’s registration information?

2. Does this prove that racial profiling was used?

3. What other statistics would you like to know about this situation?
