Answer:
Correct option is: Women are less likely to purchase a Honda Civic with a standard engine than men.
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the variable as follows:
HHC = Hybrid Honda civic
SHC = Standard-engine Honda Civic
M = male
F = female
The data provided is:
      HHC     SHC    Total
M Â Â Â Â Â Â 77 Â Â Â Â Â Â 117 Â Â Â Â 194
F Â Â Â Â Â Â 34 Â Â Â Â Â Â 83 Â Â Â Â Â 117
Total    111      200     311
Compute the probability distribution as follows:
[tex]P (M\cap HHC)=\frac{77}{311}=0.2476[/tex]
[tex]P(M\cap SHC)=\frac{117}{311}= 0.3762[/tex]
[tex]P(F\cap HHC)=\frac{34}{311}= 0.1093[/tex]
[tex]P(F\cap SHC)=\frac{83}{311}= 0.2669[/tex]
[tex]P(M) =\frac{194}{311}= 0.6238[/tex]
[tex]P(F)=\frac{117}{311} =0.3762[/tex]
[tex]P(HHC)=\frac{111}{311}= 0.3569[/tex]
[tex]P(SHC)=\frac{200}{311}= 0.6431[/tex]
The probability table is:
       HHC      SHC    Total
M Â Â Â Â 0.2476 Â Â Â 0.3762 Â Â 0.6238
F Â Â Â Â Â 0.1093 Â Â Â 0.2669 Â Â 0.3762
Total   0.3569    0.6431    1.0000
Consider the probability distribution above.
The proportion of women purchasing a standard engine Honda civic is less then that for men.
Thus, the correct option is: Women are less likely to purchase a Honda Civic with a standard engine than men.
