We are given that P(more than 1 car)=.75. We are also given that 50% of customers that insure more than 1 car have collision coverage, so 50% of 75%=37.5%. Since the customer can't both have and not have collision coverage, .75=.375+P(more than 1 car and doesn't have collision coverage) Therefore, the probability that a customer doesn't carry collision coverage and insures more than one car is .375

Note it wasn't necessary to compute P(Y=0) and P(Y=1) but it was helpful to make sure that the probability that someone in the population used the drug was 2% and making sure that the column added up to be 1. The last row also needs to add up to be 1.
