Correct Answer: A
Rationale

Choice A is correct. The total number of state parks in the state is 20, plus 5, plus 8, plus 4, equals 37. According to the table, 5 of these have camping facilities but not bicycle paths. Therefore, if a state park is selected at random, the probability that it has camping facilities but not bicycle paths is 5 over 37.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the probability that a state park selected at random from the state parks with camping facilities does not have bicycle paths. Choice C is incorrect. This is the probability that a state park selected at random from the state parks with bicycle paths does not have camping facilities. Choice D is incorrect. This is the probability that a state park selected at random from the state parks without bicycle paths does have camping facilities.
