Question 745854: He is the last guy you want to see in your rearview mirror when you are speeding down the highway, but research shows that a traffic ticket reduces a driver's
chance of being involved in a fatal accident, at least for a few weeks. By age group, 14.3% of all drivers are younger than age 25, 52.2% are between ages 25 and 54,
and 33.5% are 55 or older. Statistics show that 1.9% of the drivers younger than age 25, 2% of those ages 25 to 54, and 0.8% of those 55 or older will
have an accident in the next month. What is the probability that a randomly identified driver will have an accident in the next month?
(Give your answer correct to three decimal places.)
