In studying the insurance preferences of homeowners the following conclusions are made: A homeowner is three times as likely to

purchase additional jewelry coverage as additional electronics coverage The purchase of one of these coverages is independent of the purchase of the other The probability a homeowner purchases both coverages is 0.2 Find the probability that a homeowner purchases exactly one coverage.

Answer:

0.632

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a homeowner is three times as likely to purchase additional jewelry coverage as additional electronics coverage

If probability of purchasing additional electronics coverage = p, then prob of purchasing jewelry coverage = 3p

The two events are independent hence joint probability is product of these two.

i.e. P(both) = p(3p) =3p^2

This is given as 0.2

3p^2 =0.2\\p = 0.258

the probability that a homeowner purchases exactly one coverage.

=P(AUB)-P(A \bigcap B)

= Prob he purchases I + prob he purchases II-2(prob he purchases both)

= 0.258+3(0.258)-2(0.2)\\=0.632

Answer:

\frac{16}{81}

Step-by-step explanation:

Just Square the numbers like a normal equation.

4² = 16

9² = 81

This gives us \frac{16}{81}

or 0.198 as a decimal (approx)

Expand a logarithmic expression
ivanzaharov [21]

The logarithmic expression is

log (\sqrt{z^5}/(x^3y))

To expand the expression we have to use some properties of logarithm.

We know that log(m/n) = log (m) - log(n)

By using this property we can write,

log(\sqrt{z^5}) - log(x^3y)

Square root means to the power 1/2, so for \sqrt{z^5}, we can write z^(5/2).

log(z^(5/2)) - log(x^3y)

Now we have to use another property of logarithm.

We know that, log(mn) = log(m) + log(n)

So we will use this property to log(x^3y)

log(z^(5/2)) - log(x^3y)

log(z^(5/2)) - (log(x^3) + log(y))

log(z^(5/2)) - log(x^3) - log(y)

Now we have to use another property of logarithm.

We know that, log(a^m) = m log(a)

By using this property we can write,

(5/2)log(z) - 3log(x) - log(y)

This is the required aswer here.
