Observe the question below and the two possible solutions. State which solution is correct and give a reason for your choice. For a group of 300 cars the numbers, classified by colour and country of manufacture, are shown in the table. Black Silver WhiteKorea 33 34 35Japan 23 9 24America 16 25 34Germany 19 16 32 One car is selected at random from this group. Find the probability that the selected car is a black or white car manufactured in Korea. Solution 1 P (BUW) = P (B) + P (W) = 33/300 + 35/300 = 68/300 Solution 2 P (BUW) = P (B) + P (W) = 33/102 + 35/102 = 68/102
