An insurance company issues life insurance policies in three separate categories: standard,preferred,and ultra- preferred. Of th

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?

c) a policyholder dies in the next year. what is the probability that the deceased policyholder was ultra-preferred?

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

(0.1x-22)+(0.3x-54)=90

First combine like terms

0.4x - 76 = 90

Now add 76 on both sides

0.4x = 166

Divide by 0.4 on each side to isolate x

X= 415

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Since we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, then if we construct an interval of 95% of confidence, the 0 should be included, because on the test hypothesis we conclude that there would be no significant difference between the means of the two groups analyzed, and the results obtained on the hypothesis test needs to be consistent with the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

\bar x_{meat}=111.7 represent the sample mean of calories for the meat hot dogs

\bar x_{beef}=135.4 represent the sample mean of calories for the beef hot dogs

The system of hypothesis on this case would be:

Null hypothesis: \mu_{meat}-\mu_{beef}=0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_{meat}-\mu_{beef}\neq 0

On this case we have the p value obtained, after calculate the statistic and we got that p_v =0.124 if we select a 5% significance level \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v >\alpha and on this case we can FAIL to rejec the null hypothesis, so there is not a significant difference between the mean of the two tpes of hot dogs analyzed at 5% of significance.

And since we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, then if we construct an interval of 95% of confidence, the 0 should be included, because on the test hypothesis we conclude that there would be no significant difference between the means of the two groups analyzed, and the results obtained on the hypothesis test needs to be consistent with the confidence interval.
