Explanation:

Step1: Analyze data type

The data is about counts of car - owning and non - car - owning residents, which is categorical data, not quantitative data. So the first statement is false.

Step2: Calculate car - owning percentages

Percentage of LA residents who own a car: $\frac{3251}{4120}\times100\%\approx79\%$. Percentage of NYC residents who own a car: $\frac{1478}{7660}\times100\%\approx19.3\%$. So there is a greater percentage of LA residents who own a car than NYC residents who do.

Step3: Check total car - owners

The total number of people in the poll who own a car is 4729, not 4120. So the third statement is false.

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

The number of people who own a car is 4729 and the number of people who do not own a car is 7051. So more people in the poll do not own a car than own a car. The fourth statement is false.

Answer:

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