What is a reasonable probability model for the number of interns with at least one automobile accident

Question:

What is a reasonable probability model for the number of interns with at least one automobile accident over the past year? What are the parameters of this model? 


Accident Epidemiology

Automobile accidents are a frequent occurrence and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among persons 18−30 years of age. The National Highway & Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has estimated that the average driver in this age group has a 6.5% probability of having at least one police-reported automobile accident over the past year.

Suppose we study a group of medical interns who are on a typical hospital work schedule in which they have to work through the night for at least one of every three nights. Among 20 interns, 5 report having had an automobile accident over the past year while driving to or from work.


Suppose the interns have the same risk of having an automobile accident as a typical person ages 18−30.
