    The last option is correct.

    Details:
    The probability of 0.68 means there’s a 68% chance that a customer who buys a lawn mower will also buy an extended warranty. This is a conditional probability, which means that out of customers who have already bought a lawn mower, around 68 out of every 100 will also get the warranty. It doesn’t mean every customer will buy the warranty, but it shows how likely it is based on what previous customers have done.
