Consider the Following Values for Numbers of Major Traffic Accidents

question 31

Multiple Choice

Consider the following values for numbers of major traffic accidents involving male and female drivers. The accidents are divided into ones involving a fatality and ones that did not. What is the relative risk for male drivers with regard to fatal accidents?
$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|}\hline & \text { Males } & \text { Females } \\\hline \text { Fatal } & 275 & 142 \\\hline \text { Non-fatal } & 3024 & 564 \\\hline\end{array}$
-Assuming a null hypothesis of no relationship between sex of the driver and fatality of their accidents, which of the following values is closest to the expected number of fatal accidents involving male drivers?

Definitions:

Wavelength

The distance between successive crests of a wave, typically used in the context of electromagnetic spectrum.

IR Active Frequencies

Specific frequencies at which molecules absorb infrared radiation, leading to vibrational transitions.

Indicated Bonds

Refers to specific bonds in a molecular structure that are highlighted or implied to be of interest in a chemical reaction or process.

Wavenumber

Wavenumber is a unit of measure used in spectroscopy to represent the number of wave cycles per unit of distance, commonly inversely proportional to wavelength.
