Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

P = percentage of those that text and drive

S = percentage of those that do not text and drive

P + S = 1

S = 1 - P

S = 1 - 0.52

S = 0.48

The expected number would be:

1/0.48 = 2.08

Which is approximately 2.

Therefore the expected number of people the police officer would expect to pull over until she finds a driver not texting is 2.
