California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Statistics Quiz 3

A survey of 200 families in Los Angeles found that 180 families owned a car, with 40 owning a foreign car and 150 owning a U.S. car. 10 families owned both a foreign and U.S. car, while 20 families owned neither. The probability that a family owns a car, either foreign or domestic, is 90%. For families that own a U.S. car, the probability of also owning a foreign car is 10/150 or 6.67%. U.S. and foreign car ownership are not independent events, as the probability of owning a foreign car is higher for those who already own a U.S. car.
