Probability
During spring, young moose, unfamiliar with roads and traffic, are wandering around at night in a province, causing risk and road accidents. Suppose that the average number of road accidents involving moose was 4.6 per day. The government increased the number of hunting licenses and cleared brush to improve drivers' visibility. On one day after these measures were implemented, there were two road accidents involving moose. a) What would be the chance of two such accidents or fewer, assuming the government's measures were ineffective? b) Do you think the government's measures were effective? State your reasons clearly. a) The chance of two or fewer accidents is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b) Were the government's measures effective? O A. Since the probability of two or fewer accidents is relatively large, it appears that the government's measures were ineffective. O B. While the probability of two or fewer accidents is relatively small, it would not be particularly unusual for such an event to happen. Without more evidence, it is unclear if the government's measures were effective. O C. Since the probability of two or fewer accidents is relatively small, it appears that the government's measures were effective. O D. While the probability of two or fewer accidents is relatively large, it is possible that the day in question had more accidents than usual. Without more evidence, it is unclear if the government's measures were ineffective.
