It finds that the probability of not dying in a plane accident from 1995 to 2005 is 90.93%. The probability of dying in a car is 98.1% and 0.19% for bicycles. For trains, the probability of dying is 0.66% based on 75 fatalities from 2005 to 2008. The probability of dying in a bus is 0.92% given 201 fatalities from 2005 to 2007. The conclusion is that plane is the safest method of travel based on these statistics.
