PUZZLE CHALLENGE FOR STATISTICIANS
Mr. A travels to sokoto 3 times a year
Mr. B travels to sokoto 30 times a year
Is mr. B at higher risk of suffering a road
accident, given that road accidents in this
context is a completely random occurence, and the conditions are identical for each journey and for both mr. A and B?
Support your answer with proof.

This question seeks to solve the question:
Are Nigerian business men and road transport professional drivers at higher risk of road accident than non regular users, than example goverment workers.

you are correct on your last point. i believe a lady who has sex once in a year has equal chances if getting pregnant with a lady who has sex twice every week.
