Question 6 • Mathematics II

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

Answer
A
9 percent
B
57 percent
C
15 percent
D
21 percent

Explanation

The probability that a car is an SUV given that it is white is the percent of cars that are both white and SUVs divided by the percent that are white: 2% ÷ 13% = 2/13 ≈ 15.38%. Rounded to the nearest whole percent, that is 15 percent, choice D.
