Answer

P(neither drives a car nor takes public transportation to work) $=0.085$

Work Step by Step

The event "a worker neither drives a car nor takes public transportation to work" is the complement of "a worker primarily drives a car or takes public transportation to work". According to 39.a, P(primarily drives a car or takes public transportation to work) = 0.915. So: P(neither drives a car nor takes public transportation to work) = 1 - P(primarily drives a car or takes public transportation to work) = $1-0.915=0.085$
