In all probability there would be more car accidents than buses because the cars out number them


What is the probability of 2 drownings in a city of 200000?

It is impossible to answer the question because it is almost meaningless. How long for two drownings? Over a one minute interval the probability is likely to be 0 while if you wait a million years, the event is likely to be a certainty and so the probability is 1. The answer also depends on the city. In a city that is a long way from a river or ocean it would be pretty low: mainly bathtub or swimming pool accidents. On the other hand in a city on the banks of a river that frequently floods the probability will be much higher.


Do you think more accidents occur in a big city or a small town?

I think accidentas occur in big cities rather than a small town. And it would affect the rate because not many people in big cities drive nor walk.The probability of accidents increases as the number of people and cars increases. So a big city would have more chances for accidents to happen.

If you were in a none fault accident will your insurance go up?

Possibly. Insurance companies determine your rate by looking at characteristics that predict future loss. Think about this in terms of receiving a traffic ticket. If you get a speeding ticket, it doesn't cost the insurance company anything, but you can expect your rate to increase. The logic here is that behavior A has a correlation to the future probability of causing the insurance company to pay a claim. Studies have shown that people involved in not at-fault accidents tend to cause future at-fault accidents at a rate higher than those drivers that have not been involved in any accidents.


Discuss accident proneness theory.?

In the my construction safety book, it explains that the accident proneness theory is focused on personal factors related to accident causation. It is based on the assumption that when several individuals are placed in similar conditions, some will be more likely than others to sustain an injury... They assert that some persons have permanent characteristics that predispose them to a greater probability of being involved in accidents.


What is the definition of event in regards to math?

The commonest use of this term in mathematics is in probability theory, where it means much the same as it does in everyday life. An event is something that might or might not occur. For example, an event might be selecting an ace from a pack of cards, or throwing an 'even' with a pair of dice, or that there will be exactly ten motoring accidents reported by police on the Gardener Expressway in Toronto during the remainder of this afternoon.
