Mothers Against Drunk Driving is a very visible group whose focus is to educate the public about the harm caused by drunk drivers.A study was recently done that emphasized the problem we all face with drinking and driving.Four hundred accidents that occurred on a Saturday night were analyzed.Two items noted were the number of vehicles involved and whether alcohol played a role in the accident.The numbers are shown below:  Number of Vehicles  Did alcohol play a role? 123 Totals  Yes 5010020170 No 2517530230 Totals 7527550400\begin{array} { c | c c c | c } & { \text { Number of Vehicles } } \\\text { Did alcohol play a role? } & \mathbf { 1 } & \mathbf { 2 } & \mathbf { 3 } & \text { Totals } \\\hline \text { Yes } & 50 & 100 & 20 & 170 \\\text { No } & 25 & 175 & 30 & 230 \\\hline \text { Totals } & 75 & 275 & 50 & 400\end{array}

-Referring to Scenario 4-1, given that 3 vehicles were involved, what proportion of accidents involved alcohol?

A) 20 / 30 or 66.67%
B) 20 / 50 or 40%
C) 20 / 170 or 11.77%
D) 20 / 400 or 5%
Question
SCENARIO 4-2
An alcohol awareness task force at a Big-Ten university sampled 200 students after the midterm to ask them whether they went bar hopping the weekend before the midterm or spent the weekend studying, and whether they did well or poorly on the midterm.The following result was obtained.  Did Well on Midterm  Did Poorly on Midterm  Studying for Exam 8020 Went Bar Hopping 3070\begin{array} { | l | l | l | } \hline & \text { Did Well on Midterm } & \text { Did Poorly on Midterm } \\\hline \text { Studying for Exam } & 80 & 20 \\\hline \text { Went Bar Hopping } & 30 & 70 \\\hline\end{array}

-Referring to Scenario 4-2, what is the probability that a randomly selected student did well on the midterm and went bar hopping the weekend before the midterm?

A) 30 / 200 or 15%
B) (80+30) / 200 or 55%
C) (30+70) / 200 or 50%
D) (80+30+70) / 200 or 90%
