A book calculated the probabilities of “being injured by various items around your house” and concluded “As the figures show, our homes are veritable booby traps. Even your cocktail table is out to get you. These accounted for almost 64,000 injuries, more than all ladders [62,000 injuries].” With 74,050,000 U.S. households, they calculated the probability of being injured by a cocktail table as 64,000/74,050,000 =

0.00086 and the probability of being injured by a ladder as 62,000/74,050,000 = 0.00084.

Explain why these data do not really show that it is more dangerous to use a cocktail table than a ladder.
