Question

the table summarizes results from 976 pedestrian deaths that were caused by automobile accidents. if one of the pedestrian deaths is randomly selected, find the probability that the pedestrian was intoxicated. report answer as fraction or a decimal rounded to four places.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and favorable cases

Total pedestrian deaths \( n = 976 \).
Number of intoxicated pedestrians \( m=321 \).

Step2: Apply probability formula

Probability \( P=\frac{m}{n} \).
Substitute \( m = 321 \) and \( n = 976 \): \( P=\frac{321}{976}\approx0.3289 \).

Answer:

\( 0.3289 \)
