To answer the question, find in the Table the cell where "pedestrian was not intoxicated but the driver was". This cell carries the number "70". Hence the probability under the question is . ANSWER Calculate it and round the answer number as requested.

I have two notices.

1) Avoid such instructions "enter a decimal to 4 places", when you ask the tutors to help you. 2) From your post, I see that you just have some technique/skills to format tables. But formatting the entire table in your post is/was far from to be perfect. Next time please be more polite to the tutors, when posting your materials. Format them PERFECTLY.
