The probability that a 57-year-old was involved in an accident is 0.0656.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for the drivers involved in an accident of different age groups.

And we have to find the probability that a 57-year-old was involved in an accident.

From the table given to us, it clear that a 57-year-old driver will lie in the age group of 55 - 64.

Now, the number of licensed drivers in the age group of 55 - 64 are 30,355 (in thousands).

The point to be noted here is that the data given of drivers in accidents (thousands) will include the data of drivers in fatal accidents.

So, the number of 57-year-old drivers involved in accidents are 1990 (in thousands).

The probability that a 57-year-old was involved in an accident is given by;

                        =

                        = = 0.0656 or 6.56%

answer: slight chance that it will happen
