Of the vehicles presumed stolen by amateurs, 33% were recovered within 48 hours, 63% were recovered after 48 hours, and 4% were never recovered. (b) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen by a professional in this city will be recovered within 48 hours? (c) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen in this city will never be recovered? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
