Answer: 0.15
The probability of making more than 1 claim is the complement of making no more than 1 claim (which includes 0 claims and 1 claim). **Step-by-step calculation:** 1. Probability of 0 claims = 0.60 2. Probability of 1 claim = 0.25 3. Probability of 0 or 1 claim = 0.60 + 0.25 = 0.85 4. Probability of more than 1 claim = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 **Alternative approach:** Since the sum of all probabilities must equal 1, and we have probabilities for 0 claims (0.60) and 1 claim (0.25), the remaining probability for 2 or more claims is: 1 - (0.60 + 0.25) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 This matches the complement rule approach: P(more than 1) = 1 - P(0 or 1) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15
