An insurance company looks at its auto insurance customers and finds that (a) all insure at least one car, (b) 85% insure more than one car, (c) 23% insure a sports car, and (d) 17% insure more than one car, including a sports car. Find the probability that a customer selected at random insures exactly one car and it is not a sports car

Respuesta :

Answer:  0.09

Explanation:

Let O and S denotes the event of having more than one car and having a sports car respectively.

By considering the given information, we have

P(O)=0.85    ;   P(S)=0.23    and   P(O∩S)= 0.17

Now, [tex]P(O\cup S)=P(O)+P(S)-P(O\cap S)[/tex]

[tex]=0.85+0.23-0.17=0.91[/tex]

Now, the probability that a customer selected at random insures exactly one car and it is not a sports car will be :-

[tex]P(\overline{O}\cap \overline{S})= P(\overline{O\cup S})\\\\=1-P(O\cup S)\\\\1-0.91=0.09[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a customer selected at random insures exactly one car and it is not a sports car = 0.09
