Final answer:

Habitual offenders are individuals who accumulate a certain number of moving violations or license suspensions in a specified period of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Habitual offenders are individuals who accumulate a certain number of moving violations or license suspensions in a specified period of time. Based on the options provided, the correct answer is C. 25 moving violations and 4 license suspensions in a 6 year period. To calculate the probability related to driving behaviors, such as those who use a cell phone while driving and have a violation, one would need data on the number who used a cell phone AND had a violation as well as the number in study who had a violation in the last year. Considering drivers who have no violations or use a cell phone corresponds to checking for these behaviors within the study's sample population.
