Question

A study found that 23% of the cars manufactured last year were SUVs, 13% of the cars manufactured were white, and 2% of the cars manufactured were white SUVs.

To the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a car is an SUV, given that it is white?

9%
15%
21%
57%

Answer 1

We want P(SUV | white) = P(SUV and white) / P(white) = 2% / 13% = 2/13 ≈ 0.1538 ≈ 15% (to the nearest percent).

Answer: 15%.
