Explanation / Answer

According to survey results,

Number of respondents who have been in the car accident = 262

Number of respondents who have not been in the car accident = 494

Hence,

Total number of respondents = 262 + 494 = 756

Therefore,

P(Getting a respondent who have been in the car accident)

= (Number of respondents who have been in the car accident) / (Total number of respondents)

= 262 / 756

= 0.347

Option B is correct.
