You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Considering the events as independent (which, in the frame of the given problem, is very likelihood), you get
P(a driver with a speeding ticket who's car is not red) = 0.35*(1-0.15) = 0.35*0.85 = 0.2975. ANSWER
Solved.
-----------------
There are interesting investigations, supported by insurance companies,
if the car's color and safety driving are dependent or independent events.
You can read about it in the Internet, if you wish.
