Final answer:

The probability of selecting a compact car at the car dealership is 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability of selecting a compact car, we need to find the ratio of the number of compact cars to the total number of vehicles.

In this case, there are 4 compact cars out of a total of 13 trucks, 8 vans, and 4 compact cars.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a compact car is:

4/(13+8+4)

= 4/25

= 0.16 (rounded to 2 decimal places).
