Official Solution:

Drop-down 1: 
 
From the graph, we need the smallest ratio of deaths by drowning to all deaths for a given vessel type. So for each vessel type, compare the blue bar to the total of the blue and orange bars. This ratio is smallest for Personal Watercraft users.
 
 Drop-down 2: 
 
For Personal Watercraft users, the blue and orange bars together total about 50 deaths, and the total number of casualties is about 500. Thus, the probability that a boating casualty resulted in death was approximately
 
 \frac{50}{500}=0.1 
 
So about 1 in 10 boating casualties involving Personal Watercraft users resulted in death.

Correct answer:

Dropdown 1:  "Personal Watercraft "

Dropdown 2:  "10"
