Problem 3: Consumer Vehicles and EVs The popularity of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is soaring, and in the third quarter (Q3) of 2022 (July through September) EVs accounted for 6.016% of all consumer vehicles sold in the US - there were a total of 205,682 electric vehicles sold in Q3 of 2022. Vehicles are classified into 3 distinct groups: cars which comprise 23.92% of all Q3 sales (both EVs and non-EVs), sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and vans which comprise 56.48% of all Q3 sales, and trucks which comprise the remaining 19.6% of all Q3 sales. a) How many total consumer vehicles were sold in Q3 of 2022? How many total trucks were sold? b) Let E be the event that a randomly sold vehicle in Q3 of 2022 was an EV, and let T be the event that it was a truck. If E and T were independent, how many total EV trucks would have been sold in Q3 of 2022? c) In actuality, there were 12,866 EV trucks sold in Q3 of 2022. What does this suggest about whether E and T are truly independent? Justify your answer? d) What is the conditional probability that a randomly sold truck in Q3 of 2022 was an EV? What number from the opening paragraph should this conditional probability be compared to? Why
