    Find the number of subjects who did not wear a helmet and were injured, divide this by the total number of subjects and you get the probability.

    OK so I would divide 3562 by 480 because 480 didn't wear helmets and were injured and 3562 was the total number of people I got 7.42 is that correct

    Read my post again to see which number should be divided by which number.

    Remember that probabilities must always be between 0 and 1 inclusive.
