can choose from?
-what is the probability that Michelle will buy a red
car? (fraction, %)
-what is the probability that Michelle will buy a red car
with a manual transmission? (fraction, %)
-what is the probability that Michelle will buy a red car
with a manual transmission and a 6-cylinder engine? (fraction, %)
-what is the probability that Michelle will buy a coupé
with an automatic transmission? (fraction, %)
-what is the probability
she will buy a white cabriolet with a 4–cylinder engine in pearl white?
