more people in the poll own a car than do not own a car.

Explanation:

Step1: Define quantitative and qualitative data

Quantitative data is numerical, qualitative is categorical. This is categorical (own/do not own, city), so not quantitative.

Step2: Calculate percentage of car - owning residents

For LA: $\frac{3251}{4120}\approx 0.79$. For NYC: $\frac{1478}{7660}\approx 0.19$. LA has a greater percentage of car - owning residents.

Step3: Check total number of car - owners

The total number of people in the poll who own a car is $4729$, not $4120$.

Step4: Compare number of car - owners and non - car - owners

Number of car - owners is $4729$, number of non - car - owners is $7051$. More people do not own a car.

Answer:

There is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do.
