There are consequences
Another way to think about reducing car crashes and accidents is to quantify risk in an attempt to minimize it. Recall that we define the risk of an event as the probability of it occurring multiplied by the severity of its consequences. In this exercise you'll compute the consequences of car crashes, as well as the probability that they'll occur.
Remember that we can use the FORECAST()
function in this instance to calculate the consequences of the crash (i.e., estimate the probability that the crash will cause injuries).
