• 26% of the clients are over 50.
A client over 50 is chosen. Find the probability that the client purchased policy A.
[Hint: to solve this problem, proceed as follows. Draw a tree diagram and set P(type A) = x.
Find an equation for x and solve it. You then will have all the data to answer the question.]
