Step 1
Given data,
Number of accidnets01234Probability.12.32.25.13
P(No accidents)=?
Step 2
Let p be the probability of no accidents.
The table below is a probability distribution Therefore
P(X=x)=1
p+0.12+0.32+0.25+0.13=1
p+0.82=1
p=10.82
p=0.18
The probability that on a randomly selected day, there are no accidents is 0.18
