Answer

The probability of a person having a driving accident while intoxicated is $0.06$.

Work Step by Step

We know that the probability of a person having a driving accident while intoxicated is given below: $\begin{align} & \text{P}\left( \text{accident while intoxicated} \right)=\text{P}\left( \text{driving} \right)\text{+P}\left( \text{accident} \right)-\text{P}\left( \text{intoxicated or having accident} \right) \\ & =0.32+0.09-0.35 \\ & =0.06 \end{align}$ Thus, the probability of a person having a driving accident while intoxicated is $0.06$.
