Final answer:

The question's required data regarding fair weather conditions is not provided. Available data allows for a discussion on driver error and fatality predictions, but not specifically about weather conditions and their influence on young driver fatal crashes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to conflate driver error statistics with weather conditions; however, the available information doesn't specify data on fatal crashes during fair weather conditions to answer that specific query. From the given information, we can only discuss driver error and prediction of fatalities. For example, the American Automobile Association claims that driver error causes 54 percent of all fatal auto accidents. If 30 accidents were examined and 14 were found to be caused by driver error, one could perform a hypothesis test using α = 0.05 to determine if the AAA proportion is accurate.

As for daily fatalities, the statistics show an average of eight teens dying per day from motor vehicle injuries, and we can calculate probabilities of different numbers of deaths occurring using a Poisson or binomial distribution. These figures help address questions about the likelihood of a certain number of fatalities on any given day. Concerning crashes over years, Table 1.19 illustrates fluctuations in fatal motor vehicle crashes from 1994 to 2011.
