The probability of a collision resulting in injury can be calculated by dividing the number of collisions resulting in injury by the total number of reported accidents:
P(injury) = 651/940
Simplifying the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 47, we get:
P(injury) = 3/4
Therefore, the probability of a collision with a recreational vessel in 2015 resulting in injury is 3/4.
Suppose in 2015 there were 940
accidents reported that related to a collision with a recreational vessel. Of these, 651
resulted in injury. According to these figures, what is the probability that a collision with a recreational vessel in 2015 would result in injury?
