0.0598

C

0.481

D

0.541

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The probability that the first car selected is compact is `(20)/(27)`. There are 26 cars left, of which 19 are compact. The probability that the second car is also compact is `((20)/(27)).((19)/(26))~~0.541`. [22]
