In a recent year, among 135,933,000 registered passenger cars in the United States, there were 10,427,000 crashes. Find the probability that a randomly selected passenger car in the United States will crash this year. Is it unlikely for a car to crash in a given year? What does this suggest about traveling?
Among 135,933,000 registered passenger cars in the United States, there were 10,427,000 crashes.
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected passenger car in the United States will crash this year is:
Since this probability is greater than 0.05, it is NOT unlikely for a car to crash in a given year. This suggests that traveling is not safe.

Among 300 randomly selected drivers in the 16 minus 18 age bracket, 238 were in a car crash in the last year. If a driver in that age bracket is randomly selected, what is the approximate probability that he or she will be in a car crash during the next year? Is it unlikely for a driver in that age bracket to be involved in a car crash during a year? Is the resulting value high enough to be of...

Suppose that the miles-per-gallon (mpg) rating of passenger cars is normally distributed with a mean and a standard deviation of 39.3 and 2.9 mpg, respectively.

(Round “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability:________________ b. What is the probability that the average mpg of four randomly selected passenger...

Among 350 randomly selected drivers in the 16-18 age bracket, 314 were in a car crash in the last year. If a driver in that age bracket is randomly selected, what is the approximate probability that he or she will be in a car crash during the next year? Round to 3 decimal places as needed.
(2 points) Among drivers who have had a car crash in the last year, 180 were randomly selected and categorized by age, with the results listed in the table below. Age Under 25 25-44 45-64 Over 64 Drivers 72 44 25 39 If all ages have the same crash rate, we would expect (because of the age distribution of licensed drivers) the given categories to have 16%, 44%, 27%, 13% of the subjects, respectively. At the 0.025 significance level, test...
14. In a survey, 161 respondents say that they never use a credit card, 1220 say that they use it sometimes, and 2828 say that they use it frequently. What is the probability that a randomly selected person uses a credit card frequently? Is it unlikely for someone to use a credit card frequently? How are all of these results affected by the fact that the responses were obtained by those who decided to respond to a survey posted on...
