I'm guessing you find the length of the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c² a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15² + 8² = c²

225 + 64 = c²

289 = c²

√289 = √c²

17 = c

hope that helps, God bless!

An automobile insurance company issues a one-year policy with a deductible of 500. The probability is 0.8 that the insured autom

Effectus [21]

Answer:

y₀.₉₅ = 3659

Step-by-step explanation:

P( no accident ) = 0.8

P( one accident ) = 0

deductible = 500

mean = 3000

<u>Determine the 95th percentile of the insurance company payout </u>

Assuming : y =company payout , x =amount of loss incurred due to accident

Then :

P( x < 500 ) = 0.2 ( 1 - e^-500/3000)

= 0.2 ( 1 - e^-1/6 )

95th percentile =

= P( y < y₀.₉₅ ) 0.95

P( y = 0 ) = 0.8 + 0.2 ( 1 - e^-1/6 ) = 0.8307

attached below is the remainder of the solution
