1. From the question, we know that 157 people have been in an accident before and 117 people have not. Therefore the total respondents should be 157 + 117 = 274. Then the probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident would be 157/274 = 0.573 = 57.3%

2. The following numbers were updated by the student for this question.

108,000 128,000 82,000 138,000 85,000 108,000 88,000, 76,000 158,000 ...
