Probability of Pedestrian and Driver Intoxication

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the probability of a pedestrian not being intoxicated or a driver being intoxicated in pedestrian deaths caused by automobile accidents. It introduces the concept of the union of two events and the probability formula for non-mutually exclusive events. The tutorial provides a detailed calculation of the probabilities involved and demonstrates how to express the result as a fraction, decimal, and percentage.

What is the total number of pedestrian deaths considered in the problem?

• 688

• 82

• 976

• 144

Which formula is used to calculate the probability of non-mutually exclusive events?

• Probability of A or B = Probability of A - Probability of B

• Probability of A and B = Probability of A + Probability of B

• Probability of A or B = Probability of A + Probability of B

• Probability of A or B = Probability of A + Probability of B - Probability of A and B

Why do we subtract the probability of both pedestrian and driver being intoxicated?

• To simplify the calculation

• To increase the probability

• To avoid double-counting
