Answers (1)

Answer:

 \frac{3}{4}

Hint:

 Use Baye’s theorem.

Given:

 An insurance company insures 2000 scooter and 3000 motorcycle. The probability of an accident involve scooter is 0.01 and that of motorcycle.

Solution:

\begin{aligned} &P(E_1)=\frac{2000}{5000}=0.4\\ &P(E_2)=\frac{3000}{5000}=0.6\\ &P\left ( \frac{A}{E_1} \right )=0.01\\ &P\left ( \frac{A}{E_2} \right )=0.02\\ \end{aligned}

Using Baye’s theorem we get

\begin{aligned} &P\left (\frac{E_2}{A} \right )=\frac{P(E_2).P\left ( \frac{A}{E_2} \right )}{P(E_1)\times P\left ( \frac{A}{E_1} \right )+P(E_2)\times P\left ( \frac{A}{E_2} \right )}\\ &=\frac{{0.6\times 0.02}}{0.4\times 0.01+0.6\times 0.02}\\ &=\frac{0.012}{0.004+0.012}\\ &=\frac{3}{4} \end{aligned}
