    A.) The number of deaths as passenger occupant is 13,100. The total number of Americans are 312 million. So, 13,100/312 million x 100 = 0.0042%

    b.) If you die as a passenger occupant last year, you have to compare it with the other causes. So, 13,100 / (13,100+4,500+553+56) x 100 = 71.94%

    c.) The same answer with letter b since we assume that these data are constant.

    d.) The number of deaths due to tornado is 553. The total number of Americans are 312 million. So, 553/312 million x 100 = 0.00018%

    e.) Same with letter d. You can be chosen at random.
