Answer:  The required probability is 0.10.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Marla is looking for a new car. She has test-driven two cars A and B but can only purchase one.

We are to find the probability  that she will not purchase either car A or car B.

Let, 'C' denotes the event that Marla will purchase car A and 'D' denotes the event that Marla will purchase car 'B'.

Then, according to the given information, we have

P(A)=0.52,~~~P(B)=0.38.

Since Marla cannot purchase both the cars, so the events A and B are disjoint.

That is,

A\cap B=\phi~~~~~\Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=0.

Therefore, the probability that Marla will purchase either car A or car B is given by

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.52+0.38-0=0.90.

Hence, the probability that she will not purchase either car A or car B will be

P^\prime(A\cup B)=1-P(A\cup B)=0-0.90=0.10.

Thus, the required probability is 0.10.

The probability that she won't buy either car is .10. You add the two probabilities that were previously stated and then subtract them from 1.00. 

.52 + .38 = .90

1.00 - .90 = .10
