Question

The data in the following table summarize results from 125 pedestrian deaths that were caused by accidents. If three different deaths are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that they all involved intoxicated drivers. The probability is Round to six decimal places as needed.) Is such an event unlikely? A. Yes, because its probability is less than 0.05. B. No, because its probability is greater than 0.05. C. No, because its probability is less than 0.05. D. Yes, because its probability is greater than 0.05.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

Total number of driver intoxicated = 85 + 19 = 104

Total number of drivers and pedestrians = 85 + 19 + 18 + 3 = 125

If three different deaths are selected randomly without replacement,

P(all involved intoxicated drivers) = (104/125) x (103/124) x (102/123) = 0.57310464201

The probability is 0.573105.

Is such an event unlikely

No, because its probability is greater than 0.05.
