To use the raw data to determine the average probability of a claim, first create 2 input data tables for the information given i
These tables will allow you to reference this data to the new columns you will add (columns J, K, L, M) below.

If so, the Vlookup should find the matching chance value for crime stats > 3 depending on the # repairs.
