$P(both~alcohol~related)=0.08474$

Work Step by Step

$P(alcohol~related)=0.2911$ The events "traffic fatalitie 1 was alcohol related" and "traffic fatalitie 2 was alcohol related" are independent. Now, using the Multiplication Rule (see page 282): $P(both~alcohol~related)=P(traffic~fatalitie~1~was~alcohol~related)\times P(traffic~fatalitie~2~was~alcohol~related)=0.2911\times0.2911=0.08474$
