Answer:

  the numbers of women drivers are inconsistent

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W, C, P stand for the conditions that the drivers were women, the drivers were citizens, and the car had passengers, respectively.

We are told the number of WCP cars is 13, the number of WC cars is 23, and the number of WP cars is 22. The total of WC and WP cars counts WCP cars twice, so the total of cars in these three categories combined is ...

  WC +WP -WCP = 23 +22 -13 = 32

This number (32) is more than the total number of cars with women driving (27), so there is obviously a mistake.
