Suppose the claim size of an auto collision insurance, X, is uniformly distributed on the interval $1,000 to $10,000. What is th

e percent reduction in the expected claim payment by the insurer if a policyholder has a $2,000 deductible

Answer:

35.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were no deductibles, the expected claim payment would be:

E(X) = \frac{10,000 +1,000}{2} \\E(X) =\$5,500

If the collision insurance claim is under $2,000, then the insurer would not pay anything, but if X > $2,000, then the insurer would pay X - $2,000. The new expected value is:

E_2(X)=\frac{2,000-1,000}{10,000-1,000} *0+\frac{10,000-2,000}{10,000-1,000}*\frac{(2,000-2,000)+(10,000-2,000)}{2} \\E_2(X)=\frac{8}{9}*\frac{0+8,000}{2}\\ E_2(X)=\$3,555.56

The percentage reduction on the claim payment is:

P=(1-\frac{E_2(X)}{E(X)})*100 \\P=(1-\frac{3,555.56}{5,500})*100\\P=35.35\%

There was a 35.35% reduction.

What is the domain of the function f(x)= e^x/e^x+c if c is a constant greater than 0
Viktor [21]

Answer: Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the domain of the function we should look for the values for which the denominator is equal to zero, because the division by zero is not allowed.

We know by definition that the function e^x is always greater than zero for all <em>x</em>.

We know that the constant <em>c</em> is greater than zero (c>0).

Then, the expression e^x+c is never equal to zero.

Therefore, it does not exist a value for <em>x</em> that makes the denominator 0. Then, the domain of the function is all real numbers.

The answer is the option d.

A, O and B lie on a straight line segment.
Helga [31]
180 is the degrees a straight line segment is. This means that
4x + 3x + 2x = 180.
Since these all have the same variable (x), then you can add the coefficients. (4,3,2)
9x = 180
180/9 = x

X = 20

World war 1 lasted from August 4th 1914 until November 11th, 1918. During this time an estimated 10 million lives were lost. Abo
Kryger [21]
The question is so dry, mechanical, and devoid of emotion
that it's terrifying.

There is no way to assign a number to "How many people were
dying per day", and I would prefer not even to think about it in
those terms.

-- The period of time from August 4, 1914 until November 11, 1918 is 1,560 days.

-- The "average", or better, the "unit rate" of 10 million events in 1,560 days
is the quotient

                   (10,000,000 events) / (1,560 days) 

               =  6,410.3 events per day

               =     267.1 events per hour

               =       4.45 events per minute.


Reciprocally, this is a unit rate of 

                  13.48 seconds per event,
                  sustained continuously for 4.274 years !
