The table summarizes results from 986 pedestrian deaths that were caused by automobile accidents.

Pedestrian Deaths
Driver
Intoxicated?	Pedestrian Intoxicated?
Yes	No
Yes	52	85
No	231	618
If one of the pedestrian deaths is randomly selected, find the probability that the pedestrian was not intoxicated but the driver was. Please enter a decimal to 4 places.

 


We are asked to find the probability that the pedestrian was **not intoxicated** but the driver **was intoxicated**.

From the table:

- The number of cases where the driver was intoxicated and the pedestrian was **not intoxicated** is 85.

- The total number of pedestrian deaths is \(52 + 85 + 231 + 618 = 986\).

The probability is the ratio of favorable cases (driver intoxicated, pedestrian not intoxicated) to the total cases:

\[
P(\text{Driver Intoxicated, Pedestrian Not Intoxicated}) = \frac{85}{986}
\]

Let's calculate this ratio.

\[
\frac{85}{986} \approx 0.0862
\]

So, the probability is approximately **0.0862**.

2. What is the probability that neither the driver nor the pedestrian was intoxicated?
3. How would the probability change if there were more intoxicated drivers?
4. What is the total probability of pedestrian intoxication?
5. How do probabilities change with increasing or decreasing sample sizes?
