Question

In 2008, a highway safety administration reported that the number or pedestrian fatalities in City A was65 and that the number in City B was 45. Can we conclude that pedestrians are safer in City B? Why or why not? Yes can be concluded that pedestrians are safer in City B since 45 fatalities less than 65 fatalities. No, although one City has a higher number of fatalities, pedestrians are in an equal amount of danger regardless of the city they are in. No, City A may have more and walkways for people to use, whereas City B may require walkers to use medians or shoulders causing them to be at a higher risk of an accident. No, in order to compare the fatalities the statistics must include the number of fatalities per pedestrian. There may be fewer pedestrians in City B causing the difference.
