Question

Joe's company sold insurance policies over the phone. Last month, 2 employees sold three hurricane policies, 6 employees sold two hurricane policies, and 9 employees sold a single hurricane policy. If a single employee is picked at random, what is the probability that the employee sold two hurricane policies or sold one hurricane policy

Answer 1

The probability that the employee sold two hurricane policies or sold one hurricane policy is 15/17.

According to the statement

Number of employees who sold three hurricane policies is 2

Number of employees who sold two hurricane policies is 6

Number of employees who sold 1 hurricane policies is 9

SO,

The total number of employees is 2+6+9=17.

The number that sold two hurricane policies or sold one hurricane policy is 6+9=15,

so the Probability = Total number of policies sold / total number of employees

Probability = 15/17

So, The probability that the employee sold two hurricane policies or sold one hurricane policy is 15/17.
