Question 9.30

9.30 Boating safety. Data on accidents in recreational boating in the U.S. Coast Guard’s Recreational Boating Statistics Report show that the number of deaths dropped from 676 in 2004 to 610 in 2013. The number of injuries reported also fell from 3363 in 2004 to 2678 in 2013. Why does it make sense that the number of deaths in these data is less than number of injuries? Which count (deaths or injuries) is probably more accurate?
