Can someone please help with probability? I'LL FAN AND MEDAL!!! The police department is keeping track of distracted drivers and accidents. They have found that if a driver is distracted, the driver has a 30% chance of being in an accident. If the driver is not distracted, the driver has a 2% chance of being in an accident. The probability of a driver being distracted is 10%. If needed, create a tree diagram on separate piece of paper. Then use the diagram to answer the questions. questions in comment

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

a. What is the probability a driver will be in an accident? b. What is the probability that a driver who was in an accident was distracted?

could you help @Green101

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

The probability of getting into an accident is 0.048 because 0.03+0.07=0.048 (that's with or without distraction) I think..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm... sounds good but im really not sure but i would go about it that way.
