1. An insurance company classifies drivers as low-risk, medium-risk, and high-risk. Sixty percent of those insured are low-risk, 30% are medium-risk, and 10% are high-risk. After a study, the company finds that during a one-year period, 1% of the low-risk have an accident, 5% of the medium-risk have an accident, 9% of the high-risk have an accident. If a driver is selected at random, what is the probability that the driver will have an accident during that year (P(A) = ___)? Define the simple events necessary to answer the question. H: Event driver is high risk M: Event driver is medium risk L: Event driver is low risk A: Event driver has an accident A similar application is worth a boatload of points on exams. A. Provide the probability statements (for these simple events) with their probabilities based on the information given in the scenario.
