Question

An automobile insurance company divides customers into three categories: good risks, medium risks, and poor risks. Assume that of a total of 14,229 customers, 7,362 are good risks, 1,190 are medium risks, and the rest are poor risks. As part of an audit, one customer is chosen at random. What is the probability that the customer is not a poor risk? Write only a number as your answer. Round to two decimal places (for example: 0.43). Do not write as a percentage.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that the customer is not a poor risk = 1 - probability that the customer is a poor risk

Firstly, let’s calculate the probability of being a poor risk.

From the given data the number of poor risks = 14229-7362-1190 = 5677

So the probability of being a poor risk = 5677/14229 = 0.399

Thus, the probability that the customer is not a poor risk = 1-0.399 = 0.601 which to 2 decimal places = 0.60
