15 Suppose that 90% of drivers are "careful" and 10% are "reckless." Suppose further that a careful driver has a 0.2 probability of being in an accident in a given year, while for a reckless driver the probability is 0.4. What is the probability that a randomly selected driver will have an accident within a year? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)
