is land; the rest, about 3.63 x 108 square kilometers, is
water. If a returning space capsule lands at a random
point on Earth's surface, which of the following is the
best estimate of the probability that the space capsule
will land in water?
F. 80%
G. 71%
H. 65%
J. 41%
K. 29%

Answer 1

`P=0.71` or 71%

Step-by-step explanation:

`P=(3.63*10^2)/(1.48*10^8+3.63*10^8)`

`=(3.63)/(5.11) =0.71` or 71%
