K According to a survey, the probability that a randomly selected worker primarily drives a motorcycle to work is 0.861. The probability that a randomly selected worker primarily takes public transportation to work is 0.050. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected worker primarily drives a motorcycle or takes public transportation to work? P(worker drives a motorcycle or takes public transportation to work) = (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected worker primarily neither drives a motorcycle nor takes public transportation to work? P(worker neither drives a motorcycle nor takes public transportation to work) = (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) (c) What is the probability that a randomly selected worker primarily does not drive a motorcycle to work? P(worker does not drive a motorcycle to work) = (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) (d) Can the probability that a randomly selected worker primarily walks to work equal 0.15? Why or why not? O A. No. The probability a worker primarily drives, walks, or takes public transportation would be less than 1. OB. No. The probability a worker primarily drives, walks, or takes public transportation would be greater than 1. C. Yes. The probability a worker primarily drives, walks, or takes public transportation would equal 1. O D. Yes. If a worker did not primarily drive or take public transportation, the only other method to arrive at work would be to walk.
