In summary, the conversation discusses the probability of a claim submitted to an insurance company including operating room charges. It mentions that 85% of claims include emergency room or operating room charges, and that the occurrence of emergency room charges is independent of the occurrence of operating room charges. The probability can be calculated by studying basic probability and there are free online resources available to help with this.

An insurance company pays hospital claims. The number of claims that include emergency room or operating room charges is 85% of the total number of claims. The number of claims that do not include emergency room charges is 25% of the total number of claims. The occurrence of emergency room charges is independent of the occurrence of operating room charges on hospital claims.

Calculate the probability that a claim submitted to the insurance company includes operating room charges.
