In a poll, respondents were asked whether they had ever been in a car accident. 215 respondents indicated that they had been in a car accident and 449 respondents said that they had not been in a car accident. If one of these respondents is randomly selected, what is the probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident? Round to the nearest thousandth, if necessary
Find the total number of particpants in the poll: 215 + 449 = 664 Number of members who have gotten in car accident: 215 To find probability: 215 / 664, or approx 0.324
Hello. To solve this, put it into words. 215 have been in a car accident. 449 have not. How many people were surveyed? Out of those, how many have been in a car accident? If you put that into fraction form, you can simply put it into a calculator and solve.
