Factory workers are constantly encouraged to practice zero tolerance when it comes to accidents infactories. Accidents can occur because the working environment or conditions themselves are unsafe. Onthe other hand, accidents can occur due to carelessness or so-called human error. In addition, theworker's shift, 7:00 A.M.-3:00 P.M. (day shift), 3:00 P.M.-11:00 P.M. (evening shift), or 11:00 P.M.-7:00A.M. (graveyard shift), may be a factor. During the last year, 300 accidents have occurred. Thepercentages of the accidents for the condition combinations are as follows:UnsafeConditionsHumanShiftError5%6%2%32%25%30%DayEveningGraveyardWhat is the probability that the accident occurred on either the evening or the graveyard shift?

It is given that P(evening) = (6 + 25)% = 31% = 0.31 P(graveyard) = (2 + 30)% = 32% = 0.32
