**Insurance Analysis of Driver Accident Probabilities**

By evaluating the driving records of individuals in a particular city, an insurance company has derived the following empirical probabilities:

**Table: Miles Driven Per Year**

|                      | Less than 10,000 (M₁) | 10,000 - 15,000 inclusive (M₂) | More than 15,000 (M₃) | Totals |
|----------------------|----------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------|--------|
| **Accident**         | 0.05                 | 0.15                         | 0.20                  | 0.40   |
| **No Accident**      | 0.10                 | 0.20                         | 0.30                  | 0.60   |
| **Totals**           | 0.15                 | 0.35                         | 0.50                  | 1.00   |

**Scenario Analysis**

A driver in this city is selected at random. What is the probability that:

a. **They drive less than 10,000 miles per year or have an accident?**

b. **They drive 10,000 or more miles per year and have no accidents?** The probability is given as 0.50.
