An insurance company divides its customers into three classes: with low risk, medium risk and high risk. For each group, the probability that a person has at least one accident within a year is, respectively, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.25. It is estimated that 50% of the population is in low risk group, 35% in medium risk group, and 15% in the high risk group. One person is selected at random. What is the probability that this person will have at least one accident within a year? A. 0.215 B. 0.115 C. 0.45 D. 0.095 E. none of the above

Compound Probability

Compound probability can be defined as the probability of the two events which are independent. It can be defined as the multiplication of the probability of two events that are not dependent. 

Tree diagram

Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the subject of probability. Although there are many different concepts of probability, probability theory expresses the definition mathematically through a series of axioms. Usually, these axioms express probability in terms of a probability space, which assigns a measure with values ranging from 0 to 1 to a set of outcomes known as the sample space. An event is a subset of these outcomes that is described. 

Conditional Probability

By definition, the term probability is expressed as a part of mathematics where the chance of an event that may either occur or not is evaluated and expressed in numerical terms. The range of the value within which probability can be expressed is between 0 and 1. The higher the chance of an event occurring, the closer is its value to be 1. If the probability of an event is 1, it means that the event will happen under all considered circumstances. Similarly, if the probability is exactly 0, then no matter the situation, the event will never occur.
