Corvettes are known as sporty cars that can travel at high rates of speed. It is therefore assumed that they are much more dangerous than minivans. An owner of a Corvette points out that when statistics are studied, there are far more deaths each year from crashes that involve minivans than crashes that involve Corvettes, so Corvettes, so Corvettes must be safer than minivans. The statistics the Covert owner sites are correct. Is his logic faulty? Why or why not?
Faulty.
There are hundreds of times more minivans on the road than Corvettes, so we expect more deaths even if they are the safest car on the road.
