6.42 The article “SUVs Score Low in New Federal Roll- over Ratings” (San Luis Obispo Tribune, January 6, 2001) gave information on death rates for various kinds of acci- dents by vehicle type for accidents reported to the police. Suppose that we randomly select an accident reported to the police and consider the following events: R = event that the selected accident is a single-vehicle rollover, F = event that the selected accident is a frontal collision, and D = event that the selected accident results in a death. In- formation in the article indicates that the following proba- bility estimates are reasonable: P(R) = .06, P(F) = .60, P1R 0 D2 = .30, P1F 0 D2 = .54.
a. Interpret the value of P1R 0 D2 .
b. Interpret the value of P1F 0 D2 .
c. Are the events R and D independent? Justify your answer.
d. Is P1F ¨ D2 = P1F2 P1D2? Explain why or why not.
e. Is F = RC? Explain how you can tell.
