In a special study an accountant found the follow- ing history for 850 receivables: (a) 119 were paid early, (b) 340 were settled on time, (c) 221 were paid late, and (d) 170 were uncollectible. Assume that this experience is representative of the future. Estimate the probabilities that a particular receiv- able will fall into each of the four categories.
