e company's policyholders, 30%are standard,50% are preferred, and 20% are ultra-preferred. each standard policyholder has a probability 0.015 of dying in the next year, each preferred policyholder has probability 0.002 of dying in the next year, and each ultra-preferred policyholder has probability 0.001 of dying in the next year.
a) what is the probability that a policyholder has the ultra-preferred policy and dies in the next year?

b) what is the probability that a policyholder dies in the next year?

Answer:

a) 0.0002

b) 0.0057

c) 0.0364

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by stating the probabilities of a person belonging to each policy:

Standard: 0.3

Preferred: 0.5

Ultra- Preferred: 0.2

The probability of person belonging to each policy AND dying in the next year:

Standard: 0.3 x 0.015 = 0.0045

Preferred: 0.5 x 0.002 = 0.001

Ultra- Preferred: 0.2 x 0.001 = 0.0002

a) The probability a ultra - preferred policy holder dies in the next year is 0.001. To find the probability of a person being both a ultra - preferred policy holder AND die in the next year is: 0.001 x 0.2= 0.0002

b)  The probability is given by adding the probabilities calculated before :

0.0045 + 0.001 + 0.0002 = 0.0057

c) We use the results above again. This is 0.0002 / (0.001 + 0.0045). The answer comes out to be 0.0364

Mr Wallace took 600mg of medicine. This was 75% of the full dose. What was the full dose?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Set up a proportion.

75% = 0.75

600/0.75 = x/1

Cross multiply:

0.75x = 600

Divide 0.75 to both sides:

x = 800

So the full does is 800mg.

What is the slope of (12,-18) and (11,12)? Please I’m very confused.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

-30

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{slope =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }

where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate.

Slope

=  \frac{12 - ( - 18)}{11 - 12}

=  \frac{12 + 18}{ - 1}

= -30
