StatTutor: Finite and discrete probability models Presented is a probability distribution for the number of motor vehicles: cars, trucks, or motorcycles owned by a random family. Because almost no families own more than five, we will combine any families with more than five into that value.

    0.42 = 42% probability a randomly selected family has at least three vehicles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have the following information, from the probability distribution we are given:

    0.08 = 8% probability that a randomly selected family has 0 vehicles.

    0.15 = 15% probability that a randomly selected family has 1 vehicle.

    0.35 = 35% probability that a randomly selected family has 2 vehicles.

    0.28 = 28% probability that a randomly selected family has 3 vehicles.

    0.09 = 9% probability that a randomly selected family has 4 vehicles.

    0.05 = 5% probability that a randomly selected family has 5 vehicles.

    What is the probability a randomly selected family has at least three vehicles?

    3, 4 or 5.

    0.28 + 0.09 + 0.05 = 0.42

    0.42 = 42% probability a randomly selected family has at least three vehicles
