During a recent year, speeding was reported in 12.9% of all automobile accidents in the United States. Assume the probability that speeding is reported in an accident is 0.129, the probability of an accident in which speeding is reported leading to a fatality is 0.196, and the probability of an accident in which speeding is not reported leading to a fatality is 0.05.

1. What is the probability that an accident is leading to a fatality?
2. Suppose you learn of an accident involving a fatality. What is the probability that speeding was reported?

Recent statistics have indicated that of all traffic fatalities from single-vehicle accidents: 45% have passengers of a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV); 44% were not wearing a seat belt. In addition, of all traffic fatalities involving an SUV, 82% were not wearing a seat belt. A single-vehicle accident produced a fatality. What is the probability that a victim involved in this accident: (a) was an occupant of an SUV and not wearing a seat belt? (b) It was determined that the...

Speeding and alcohol are the most common factors contributing to traffic accidents. For all male drivers under 21 involved in a fatal crash in 20172017, 34% were speeding, 25% were intoxicated, and 23% were both speeding and intoxicated. Suppose a fatal crash involving a male under 21 is selected at random. a) What is the probability that the driver was speeding or intoxicated? b) What is the probability that the crash was due to neither speeding nor intoxication? c) What...

People drive frequently so accidents are common. A recent study looked into the safety of small cars. The study indicated that small cars are involved in 18% of all accidents and larger cars account for the other 82%. It also determined that 12.8% of small car accidents will result in a fatality. For larger cars only 5% of their accidents lead to a fatality. Smaller cars are more dangerous than larger cars but are involved in many fewer accidents. You...

A recent study of accident records at a large engineering company reported the following number of injuries in each shift for one year: Morning, 879; Afternoon, 1,067; Night, 1,200. Is there sufficient evidence to say that the number of accidents during the three shifts are not the same? Test at the α = 0.05, α = 0.01, and α = 0.001 levels. a. There is sufficient evidence at both 0.05 and 0.01 levels but not at the 0.001 level. b....

On average, there are roughly 1.4 deaths in hot-air balloon accidents in the United States each year. A10. Given that dying in a hot-air balloon accident is rare, what is the most appropriate probability distribution (out of those we have learned in class) for modeling the number of hot-air balloon fatalities per year in the US? Give the values of all distribution parameters. A12. Using the distribution you identified in Question A10, what is the probability that we have one...

Bayes) Suppose an automobile insurance company classifies a driver as good, average, or bad. Of all their insured drivers, 25% are classified good, 50% are average, and 25% are bad. Suppose for the coming year, a good driver has a 5% chance of having an accident, and average driver has 15% chance of having an accident, and a bad driver has a 25% chance. If you had an accident in the past year what is the probability that you are...

Influenza occurs on an annual basis in the United States, with case counts generally peaking during the colder months of the year. In 2011, the approximate influenza case count in the US was 9,000,000. The population of the US in 2011 was approximately 300,000,000. It is estimated that 30% of the US population either was immunized with vaccine or possessed natural immunity to 2011's flu strain. Nearly 45,000 people died from influenza in the US during 2011's "flu season." The...
