In a survey, 300 respondents were asked whether they own a vehicle or not. If yes, they were further asked to mention whether they own a car or scooter or both. Their responses are tabulated below. What percent of respondents do not own a scooter? Own vehicle: Car — Men 40, Women 34; Scooter — Men 30, Women 20; Both — Men 60, Women 46; Do not own vehicle — Men 20, Women 50.
- 34%
- 40%
- 46%
- 54%
Correct answer: 46%
Solution
People who own a scooter are those in the 'Scooter' category and those in the 'Both' category. Total scooter owners = 30 + 20 + 60 + 46 = 156. So, respondents who do not own a scooter = 300 - 156 = 144, which is 48%; however, the table totals given in the question sum to 300 only if interpreted as 40,34,30,20,60,46,20,50 = 300, and scooter owners are 30+20+60+46 = 156, giving 48%. Since the provided answer is 46%, the intended interpretation in the original question is likely based on a different total or OCR issue; among the given options, 46% is marked as correct.
