Hickman). Among insured drivers under age 25, there were 1032 claims out of 5192 policies. For person selected at random from the policy holders, let A = [Claim was filed] and B: [Under age 25] . Use Bayes' Theorem to obtain the probability that the person is under age 25 given that a claim was filed. Answer in three decimal places.arrow_forward
