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

Solve for n:<br> (n+4)/10 = (n-8)/2
nalin [4]

Answer:

n=11

Step-by-step explanation:

(n+4)/10 = (n-8)/2

We can solve using cross products

(n+4) * 2 = 10 * ( n-8)

Distribute

2n+8 = 10n -80

Subtract 2n from each side

2n+8-2n = 10n-80-2n

8 = 8n-80

Add 80 to each side

8+80= 8n-80+80

88 = 8n

Divide each side by 8

88/8 = 8n/8

11 = n
