Answer:

55% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the new price and subtract the original price

62-40 =22

Divide by the original price

22/40 =.55

Multiply by 100 to change to a percent

.55*100 = 55%

A policyholder has probability 0.7 of having no claims, 0.2 of having exactly one claim, and 0.1 of having exactly two claims. C

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.89.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to aid in the solution to this question or problem. So, the data or parameters are;

(1). "probability 0.7 of having no claims, 0.2 of having exactly one claim, and 0.1 of having exactly two claims."

(2). " distributed on the interval [0,60] and are independent."

(3). "The insurer covers 100% of each claim."

So, taking (1) above we will have;

(Total probability= 0.7 + 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.1)

A = { (0.7 × 0)^2 + (0.2 × 1)^2 + ( 0.1 × 2)^2 =( 0.4) +( 0.4) = 0.8.

0.8 + total probability = 0.8 + 0.1 = 0.9.

So, from the question, we are to "Calculate the probability that the total beneﬁt paid to the policyholder is 48 or less."

Hence, P< 48/A = P < 48/0.9 = P < 53.33.

Thus, 53.33/60 = 0.89.

Anyone know the answer??

Serggg [28]

Answer:

the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

in ax²+bx+c = 0:

$x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

subtract both sides by 6 to get to this form, as the right side will be left with 0

6x² + 8x - 6 = 0

here, the coefficient for x² (a) is 6, the coefficient for x (b) is 8, and the remaining number added on (c) is -6

plugging our numbers into the formula, we get

$x = \frac{-8+-\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(6)(-6)} }{2(6)}\\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{64-(-144)} }{12} \\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{208} }{12} \\ = \frac{-8+\sqrt{208} }{12} or \frac{-8-\sqrt{208} }{12}\\= 0.53518375848 or -1.86851709182\\= approximately -1.87, 0.54$
