Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a very visible group whose main focus is to educate the public about the harm caused by drunk drivers. A study was recently done that emphasized the problem we all face with drinking and driving. Five hundred accidents that occurred on a Saturday night were analyzed. Two items noted were the number of vehicles involved and whether alcohol played a role in the accident. The numbers are shown below: Number of Vehicles Involved Did alcohol play a role? 1 2 3 Yes No What proportion of accidents involved more than one vehicle? Place your answer, rounded to 2 decimal places, in the blank. For example, 0.23 is a legitimate entry. Correct.8 Answer Key: 0.80 Question 16 of 20 1.0/ 1.0 Points Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), "E" or "e" (used in scientific notation).

For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not. A probability experiment has two steps. There are two possible results for the first step, call them "A" and "B". If the result for the first step was "A", then there would be 4 possible results for the second step. If the result for the first step was "B", then there would be 16 possible results for the second step. How many possible outcomes are there for this experiment? Place your answer in the blank. Do not use any decimal point or comma. For example, 45 would be a legitimate entry.
