Question

in a certain study, the chances of encountering a car crash on the road are stated as 4 in 25. express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusive

the probability is
(rounded to three decimal places as needed )

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Probability Calculation

Probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. Here, favorable is 4 (chances of crash) and total is 25. So we calculate $\frac{4}{25}$.

Step2: Perform the Division

Divide 4 by 25. $4 \div 25 = 0.16$. Rounded to three decimal places, it's 0.160 (or just 0.16 if we consider significant figures, but as per the problem, three decimal places, so 0.160).

Answer:

0.160
