An ad for airbags claimed that proper usage of airbags "reduces the chance of fatality in a car crash by 400 percent." What is wrong with this
statement?
Choose the correct answer below.
A. The statement does not mention the initial amount of fatalities.
B. If airbags eliminated all fatalities, it would result in a 100% reduction, so it is not possible to reduce fatalities by more than 100%.
C. If fatalities fell by 100%, it would be cut in half. Thus, a decrease of 200% means that it would be totally eliminated, and a decrease of more
than 200% is impossible.
D. The actual amount of the decrease in fatalities is less than 100%.
