TERM INSURANCE PLAN
A particular term insurance company has two options in the application form before issuing the policy - Smoker
or Non-smoker. As a smoker has more chance of getting lung disease and death chance is comparatively higher.
So premium payment is more for a smoking person. Company gives a rider plan (i.e. for some critical diseases)
along with normal term plan by paying some extra premium money. In a certain time period, company issues
100 policies of which 30% are for smokers and rest for non-smoker customers. Also, half the smokers and th
2

of non-smoking customers have purchased a rider plan along with a normal plan.

ii. Find the probability that company issues policy for a non-smoker without a rider plan. (1)
iii. Find the probability that company issues policy for a smoker without a rider plan. (2)
