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

Tamika wants to double the volume of a square pyramid. What should she do?
ella [17]
To efficiently double the volume of a square pyramid, you need to double the height of the pyramid. 

<span>V = (1/3)Ah where A is the area of the base. If you double the height and leave A unchanged, the volume will also be doubled (replace h with 2h in the formula).</span>
