It is hard to find a correlation between airline incidents and fatalities because the number of fatal incidents are far and few between. It is difficult to interpret fatal accidents as they only represent less than one-quarter the total incidents provided in the Airlines data set. For future analysis, it will be better to compare airline incidents based upon fatalities. When looking at the histogram, we can see that there is more correlation between the number of incidents and fatalities. Fatalities range anywhere from 0-400+. This is the most extreme incident, which can correlate to the fatal accidents histogram. Fatal incidents is defined differently than a regular incident which is important to understand when analyzing this data. It is important to note that many singular fatal incidents have lead to higher rates of fatalities. Passengers should understand the odds of a fatal airline crash are more than 1 and 1.2 million and death by plane are 1 and 11 million according to a study conducted by Harvard University. Passengers should feel comfortable understanding that airlines are safe. This Interpretation can give us a better understanding that fatalities range based upon the type of incident. The data provided doesn’t give a clear understanding of what caused the number of incidents. We can walk away from this Information knowing that there is a minor correlation between incidents and fatalities, but fatalities vary both extreme and not based upon if it was considered a fatal accident or not.
