Question
An insurance company offers four different deductible
levels-none, low, medium, and high-for its homeowner's
policyholders and three different levels–low, medium, and
high-for its automobile policyholders. The accompanying
table gives proportions for the various categories of policy-
holders who have both types of insurance. For example, the
proportion of individuals with both low homeowner's
deductible and low auto deductible is .06 (6% of all such
individuals).

Suppose an individual having both types of policies is ran-
domly selected.
a. What is the probability that the individual has a medium
auto deductible and a high homeowner's deductible?
b. What is the probability that the individual has a low auto
deductible? A low homeowner’'s deductible?
c. What is the probability that the individual is in the same
category for both auto and homeowner's deductibles?
d. Based on your answer in part (c), what is the probability
that the two categories are different?
e. What is the probability that the individual has at least one
low deductible level?
f. Using the answer in part (e), what is the probability that
neither deductible level is low?
