Question

use the data in the following table, which lists survey results from high school drivers at least 16 years of age. assume that subjects are randomly selected from those included in the table
drove when drinking alcohol?
yes no
texted while driving 667 3087
no texting while driving 122 4359
if one of the high school drivers is randomly selected, find the probability that the selected driver texted while driving and drove when drinking alcohol.
the probability that one randomly selected high school driver texted while driving and drove when drinking alcohol is
(round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of drivers

Add all values in the table: \(667 + 3087+122 + 4359\)

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Step2: Identify number of drivers who texted and drove drunk

The value for "Texted While Driving" and "Yes (drove when drinking alcohol)" is \(667\)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability formula is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, \(P = \frac{667}{8235}\)

$$ \frac{667}{8235}\approx0.081 $$

Answer:

\(0.081\)
