Figures obtained from a city's police department seem to indicate that of all motor vehicles reported as stolen, 69% were stolen by professionals (P), whereas 31% were stolen by amateurs (primarily for joy rides) (A). Of the vehicles presumed stolen by professionals, 21% were recovered within 48 hours (R<48), 15% were recovered after 48 hours (R>48), and 64% were never recovered (N). Of the vehicles presumed stolen by amateurs, 44% were recovered within 48 hours, 51% were recovered after 48 hours, and 5% were never recovered. (a) Draw a tree diagram representing the data.
