Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the probability that a randomly selected car is from Salem, divide the number of vehicle tags sold in Salem by the total number of vehicle tags sold. The total number of vehicle tags sold is $1,863 + 3,407 + 2,457 + 1,636 + 2,541 = 11,904$. The number of vehicle tags sold in Salem is 1,636. Therefore, the probability is $1,636 / 11,904 = 0.1374$, rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.
