Well, if you add up the number of crimes reported here:
\n" ); document.write( "9 Homicides.
\n" ); document.write( "24 Robberies.
\n" ); document.write( "17 Assaults.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "41 crimes. But the report says there were 50 violent crimes, so we take that as the total.
\n" ); document.write( "Of these 50 violent crimes, 17 were assaults, so the probability that the next violent crime will be an assault is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%28A%29+=+17%2F50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%28A%29+=+0.34\" or 34%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
