Answer:

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

74,250 car accidents. Of those, in 20,187, the driver was a female.

Based on this, what is the probability that a female driver was involved in an accident?

p = 20187/74250 = 0.2719

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident
