Answer 1

The best description of the 0.1 in the table is "Given that a car is a coupe, there is a 10% chance it is from the previous model year."

This means that out of all the coupes in the car inventory, 10% of them are from the previous model year. The other entries in the table can be interpreted in a similar way. For example, the entry 0.75 in the "sedan" column means that out of all the sedans in the car inventory, 75% of them are from the current model year.
