Question

The insurance company has determined that in any one year, the probability that George will have a car accident is 0.05 and that if he has an accident, the probability that he will be hospitalized is 0.40.
Find the probability that George will have an accident but not be hospitalized. Write your answer in decimal form.

Answer 1

0.65

0.40(will be hospitalized) - 1.0 = 0.60(will not be hospitalized)

car accident + won’t be hospitalized = 0.65
0.05+0.60= 0.65
