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

Which equation has the solutions x=1+/- 5?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

x^{2} -2x-4=0

Solving Steps

Use the quadratic formula

x=\frac{-(-2)(+/-)\sqrt{(-2)^2-4*1*(-4)} }{2*1}

Multiply / Remove the parentheses / Evaluate

x=\frac{2(+/-)\sqrt{4+16} }{2}

Calculate

x=\frac{2(+/-)\sqrt{20} }{2}

Separate the solutions

x=\frac{2(+/-)2\sqrt{5} }{2} \\x=\frac{2-2\sqrt{5} }2}

Simplify

x=1+\sqrt{5} \\x=1-\sqrt{5}

A principal of ​$5000 is invested in an account paying an annual rate of 7​%. Find the amount in the account after 5 years if th
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$7,012.76

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 7/100

r = 0.07 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.07/1)(1)(5)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.07)(5)

A = $7,012.76

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 at a rate of 7% per year compounded 1 times per year over 5 years is $7,012.76.

PlZ HELP !!!! if you can AWNSER either one if those please​
Hunter-Best [27]

Problem 1

The two angles 6x and 30 are vertical angles, so they are congruent or the same in measure.

6x = 30

x = 30/6

x = 5 is the answer

====================================================

Problem 2

The two angles form a straight angle which is 180 degrees. We consider them a linear pair (since they are adjacent and supplementary).

So,

5x+(3x+12) = 180

8x+12 = 180

8x = 180-12

8x = 168

x = 168/8

x = 21 is the answer
