A policyholder purchases automobile insurance for two years. Define the following events:

F = the policyholder has exactly one accident in year one.

G = the policyholder has one or more accidents in year two. Define the following events:

  1. The policyholder has exactly one accident in year one and has more than one accident in year two.
  2. The policyholder has at least two accidents during the two-year period.
  3. The policyholder has exactly one accident in year one and has at least one accident in year two.
  4. The policyholder has exactly one accident in year one and has a total of two or more accidents in the two-year period.
  5. The policyholder has exactly one accident in year one and has more accidents in year two than in year one.


Determine the number of events from the above list of five that are the same as [math]F \cap G [/math].

  • None
  • Exactly one
  • Exactly two
  • Exactly three
  • All

The annual numbers of thefts a homeowners insurance policyholder experiences are analyzed over three years.

Define the following events:

  1. A = the event that the policyholder experiences no thefts in the three years.
  2. B = the event that the policyholder experiences at least one theft in the second year.
  3. C = the event that the policyholder experiences exactly one theft in the first year.
  4. D = the event that the policyholder experiences no thefts in the third year.
  5. E = the event that the policyholder experiences no thefts in the second year, and at least one theft in the third year.

Determine which three events satisfy the condition that the probability of their union equals the sum of their probabilities.

  • Events A, B, and E
  • Events A, C, and E
  • Events A, D, and E
  • Events B, C, and D
  • Events B, C, and E

A mattress store sells only king, queen and twin-size mattresses. Sales records at the store indicate that the number of queen-size mattresses sold is one-fourth the number of king and twin-size mattresses combined. Records also indicate that three times as many king-size mattresses are sold as twin-size mattresses.

Calculate the probability that the next mattress sold is either king or queen-size
