Solution:

The probability of randomly selecting a person who drives a car can be calculated as:

In the survey, 751 people responded that they drove a car and 1304 people said they drove a truck/Suv.

Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a person who drives a car is 0.3654

This is the random process problem. Vehicles of two different types, cars and trucks, arrive to a gas station, so that gaps between their arrivals are independent exponential random variables with parameter 1 (vehicle per hour). Each vehicle, independently of others, is a car with probability p and is a truck with probability 1−p. Independently of other vehicles, each car and truck fills up by the number of gallons that is uniformly distributed between [8, 12] and [14, 16], respectively....

A random sample of 1,175 people in a certain country were asked whether they thought climate change was a problem. The sample proportion of those who think climate change is a problem was calculated, and a 95 percent confidence interval was constructed as (0.146, 0.214). Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval? a) We are 95 percent confident that any sample of 1,175 people will produce a sample proportion between 0.146 and 0.214. B)We are 95...

In a certain year, 44.7% of all light vehicles were cars, and the rest were pickups or SUVs. The probability that a severe side-impact crash would prove deadly to a driver depended on the type of vehicle he or she was driving at the time, as shown in the table. What is the probability that the victim of a deadly side-impact accident was driving a car? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Car 1.0 Light Truck or SUV .2
