5. A 2011 study by The National Safety Council estimated that there are nearly 5.7 million traffic accidents year. At least 28% of them involved distracted drivers using cell phones or texting. The data showed that 11% of drivers at any time are using cell phones . Car insurance companies base their policy rates on accident data that shows drivers have collisions approximately once every 19 years. That’s a 5.26% chance per year. Given what you know about probability, determine if cell phone use while driving and traffic accidents are related. Step A: Let DC = event that a randomly selected driver is using a cell phone. What is P(DC)? (1 point) Step B: Let TA = event that a randomly selected driver has a traffic accident. What is P(TA)? Hint: What is the probability on any given day? (1 point) Step C: How can you determine if cell phone use while driving and traffic accidents are related? (1 point) Step D: Given that the driver has an accident, what is the probability that the driver was distracted by a cell phone? Write this event with the correct conditional notation. (1 point) Step E: What is the probability that a randomly selected driver will be distracted by using a cell phone and have an accident? (2 points) Step F: For a randomly selected driver, are the events "driving while using a cell phone" and "having a traffic accident" independent events? Explain your answer. (2 points)
