Question Statement:

In 1985, there were 20 deaths from automobile accidents per 1,000 miles traveled. A total of 20,000 miles were traveled via automobiles in 1985. In the same year, 800 people died in airplane crashes and 400 people were killed in train disasters. A statistician concluded from these data alone that it was more dangerous to travel by plane, train, and automobile, in that order.

Which of the following refutes the statement’s conclusion?

There is no common denominator by which to compare the number of deaths resulting from each mode of travel.

One year is insufficient to reach such a conclusion.
