The table gives the probabilities that new cars of different models will have brake failure. The car model that is least likely to have a brake failure is model , and the probability of brake failure for this model is %.
 Car Model            Brake Failure

in New Car

A                            0.0065%

B                            0.0037%

C                            0.0108%

D                            0.0029%

E                            0.0145%

Total 0.0048%

All the information we have are the probabilities, and what we need is the lowest number: so let's choose the smallest probability among the numbers: 0.0065%, B 0.0037%,C 0.0108%,D 0.0029%, E 0.0145%. The smallest of the numbers is 0.0029% -it starts with two 00s and the number that follows, 2, is smaller than all there others - so the smallest probability is in option D - and the model would be the corresponding model (but we're missing some information here)

Answer:

Model D is least likely to have a brake failure.

Step-by-step explanation:

since when we will compare all the values of the probability of brake failure for the models in % by the following table:

Car Model           Brake Failure

                                   in New Car

A                              0.0065%

B                              0.0037%

C                                 0.0108%

D                                 0.0029%

 E                                 0.0145%

Total                      0.0048%

We will see that 0.0029% is the least percent among all the other entries.

Hence car model D is most likely to have a least chance of brake failure.
