click the icon to view the data for fatal crashes in 2016
(a) among fatal crashes in other weather conditions, what is the probability that a randomly selected fatal crash occurs when it is daylight?
the probability that a randomly selected fatal crash in other weather conditions occurs when it is daylight is approximately
(round to three decimal places as needed)
data table

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of fatal crashes in other weather conditions

Add up all values in the "Other" row: \(125 + 64+220 + 40+9=458\)

Step2: Find number of fatal crashes in other weather conditions during daylight

The value in the "Other" row and "Daylight" column is \(125\)

Step3: Calculate the probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of daylight crashes in other weather}}{\text{Total crashes in other weather}}=\frac{125}{458}\approx0.273\)

Answer:

\(0.273\)
