Compare the two models and choose the best. If a zone has 1000 households, of which 50% have no car, 35% have one car, and the rest have exactly two cars, estimate the total number of trips generated by this zone.

In a polymerase chain reaction assay, the frequency in 20-year-old men was estimated to be 17.7 ± 1.7 per μgDNA, and the frequency in 40-year-old men was estimated to be 35.9 ± 5.8 per μg DNA.
