Final answer:

To find the probability of randomly selecting a household that has at least one car, calculate the probability of no cars and subtract it from 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X represents the number of cars per household in a town of 1000 households. To find the probability of randomly selecting a household that has at least one car, we need to calculate the probability of no cars and subtract it from 1.



The probability of randomly selecting a household with 0 cars is:
P(X = 0) = 125/1000 = 0.125



Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a household with at least one car is:
P(X >= 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.125 = 0.875
