Question

The data represent the number of driving fatalities for a certain area by age for male and female drivers.

​(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected driver fatality who was 16 to 20 was male​?

Answer 1

The one thing we know is that the selected fatality is between the ages of 16-20 so there are 5933 + 2071 = 8004 total possibilities. 5933 of them are male so the probability that a randomly selected driver fatality who was 16 to 20 was male​ is 5933/8004.

Answer 2

P=Probability

P = Male/(Male+Female)

P=5933/(5933+2071)

P = 0.741 or P = 74.1%
