On New Year's Eve, the probability of a person driving while intoxicated or having a driving accident is 0.39. If the probability of driving while intoxicated is 0.36 and the probability of having a driving accident is 0.13, find the probability of a person having a driving accident while intoxicated.
------
P(acc AND intox) = P(acc) + P(intox) - P(acc or intox)
-----
P(acc AND intox) = 0.13 + 0.36 - 0.39
-----
P(acc AND intox) = 0.10
