Answer:

259 / 701

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident = number of respondents that have been in an accident / total number of respondents

total number of respondents = 259 + 442 = 701

 = 259 / 701

What is the surface area of the cylinder shown below? Use 3.14 for π. A. 660 cm2 B. 863 cm2 C. 353.25 cm2 D. 785 cm2
lesantik [10]

Answer:

602.88cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the image of the cylinder attached

Surface area of a cylinder = A=2πrh+2πr²

r is the radius = 4cm

Height h = 20cm

Substitute

A = 2πr(r+h)

A = 2π(4)(4+20)

A = 8π(24)

A = 192π

A = 192(3.14)

A = 602.88cm²

Hence the surface area of the cylinder is 602.88cm²
