Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the probability of selecting a U.S. car is 0.33, then the number of U.S. cars out of the total number of cars must be (0.33) multiplied by the total number of cars, i.e., 0.33*15 = 4.95, which rounds up to 5. Therefore, there are five U.S. cars out of 15, which satisfies the given information. Hence, the answer is true.
