Answer:
The correct option is;
There is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do
Step-by-step explanation:
The values are presented as follows;
LA residents who own a car = 3251
NYC residents who own a car = 1478
Total residents who own a car = 4729
LA residents who do not own a car = 869
NYC residents who do not own a car = 6182
Total residents who do not own a car = 7051
Total LA residents sampled = 4120
Total NYC residents sampled = 7660
Total residents of both cities sampled = 11780
Percentage of LA residents who own a car = (3251/4120)×100 = 78.9%
Percentage of NYC residents who own a car = (1478/7660)×100 = 19.3%
The total number of people in the poll who own a car = 4729
Therefore, the correct option is that there is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do.
