The probability is 1 in 4000000 that a single auto trip in the US will result in a fatality Over a lifetime an average US driver takes 50000 trips Probability of fatal accident over lifetime?
The risk of an accident - fatal or otherwise - is not constant over a person's lifetime. Young and inexperienced drivers or elderly drivers with slower reflexes, for example, are at higher risk. Also, different age groups make different numbers of road trips. In real life, therefore, it is quite unreasonable to extrapolate the 1 fatal accident in 4 million trips to 50,000 trips.

How many times more is a Driver under 18 likely to have a fatal accident than the average driver?
If you are under 18 years of age, your risk of a fatal crash is about 2 1/2 times that of the "average" driver, and your risk of an injury crash is 3 times higher than that of the average driver.
What is the different between accident and incident?
When classifying a plane "crash", the FAA refers to it as either an Accident or an Incident.An Accident is when there is major damage to an airplane and/or injury or death.An Incident only involves minor damage to the airplane or a few minor injuries.Recommend the FAA or the NTSB website.ANSWER 2any accident that is caused intentionally in any way by someone is not an "accident" - an incident is any thing that happens that is not an accident as definied in the above answer - thus an intentionally caused incident, even if it is fatal or has major damage, is not an accident but an incident - hopefully that's not too confusing!Another thoughtI was always under the impression that it was simply a matter of cost. If the repairs exceeded a specific dollar amount, or man hours required for repair, then it was categorized as an accident. However, it certainly makes sense that other factors, such as injury and/or death, would be considered.
What are the chances of a fatal accident per journey if a plane has flown 7000 journeys per year for 25 years and had one fatal accident killing 113 people?
7000 x 25 = 175000 say every flight carries 113 people 175000 x 113 = 19775000 113/19775000 = 0.0000057 So every million people who fly on the plane, 5.7 may die However, the probability is almost definitely a lot less, doe to the fact the crash may have been in freak weather conditions, or other variables such as better safety procedures
