To find the probability of finding a sports car or a compact car, we need to add the number of sports cars and compact cars and divide by the total number of cars. From the table, we see that there are 91 sports cars and 153 compact cars, for a total of 91+153=244 cars that are either sports cars or compact cars. Therefore, the probability of finding a sports car or a compact car is 244/377.
