Question:

An insurance company examines its pool of auto insurance customers and gathers the following information: (i) All customers insure at least one car. (ii) 70% of the customers insure more than one car. (iii) 20% of the customers insure a sports car. (iv) Of those customers who insure more than one car, 15% insure a sports car. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car?

Answer:

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 0.205

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the event that the customer insures more than one car.

Let X' is the event that the customer insures exactly one car.

Let Y is the event that customer insures a sport car.

Let Y' is the event that customer insures not a sport car.

From the given information we have

70% of customers insure more than one car.

P(X) = 0.70

20% of customers insure a sports car.

P(Y) = 0.20

Of those customers who insure more than one car, 15% insure a sports car.

P(Y | X) = 0.15

We want to find out the probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car.

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = ?

Which can be found by

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - P( X ∪ Y )

From the rules of probability we know that,

P( X ∪ Y ) = P(X) + P(Y) - P( X ∩ Y )    (Additive Law)

First, we have to find out P( X ∩ Y )

From the rules of probability we know that,

P( X ∩ Y ) = P(Y | X) × P(X)       (Multiplicative law)

P( X ∩ Y ) = 0.15 × 0.70

P( X ∩ Y ) = 0.105

So,

P( X ∪ Y ) = P(X) + P(Y) - P( X ∩ Y )

P( X ∪ Y ) = 0.70 + 0.20 - 0.105

P( X ∪ Y ) = 0.795

Finally,

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - P( X ∪ Y )

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - 0.795

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 0.205

Therefore, there is 0.205 probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car.

A pair of jeans was 30% off the original price. The sale resulted in a $24 discount.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We must consider the price of the Jeans as whole since it represents the full price of the jeans. The discount might be a limited only offer and does not represent the fullest price of the jeans.

To find the original price of the jeans we have two methods that in the end are going to lead to the same conclusion. The long method is to represent mathematically the information presented. Conceptually, we could interpret the statement saying that the original price minus 30% of the original price is equal to the original price minus the discount. Let us say the Original Price (OP)=x. then, mathematically we represent the statement as:

x -0,3*x = x -24

What we need to do now is to isolate x on one side of the equation. We have x as a common factor, so:

x*(1-0,3)=x-24 \rightarrow 24+x*0,7=x

24=x-0,7*x \rightarrow 24 = x*(1-0,7)

24 = 0,3*x \rightarrow 24/0,3 =x \rightarrow x=80

This one is the original price of the jeans: $80. There is a shortcut to this method, though. We know two things that are fundamental: the discount sale is $24 and the jeans are 30% off. These statements provide the same information; thus we can match them and say that:

24 = 0,3*x \rightarrow 24/0,3 =x \rightarrow x=80

And we find ourselves on the same conclusion.

Have a wonderful day :D

Graph the quadratic function ƒ(x) = 2(x − 3)2 − 2
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

 ƒ(x) = (x - 2)^2 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To make f(x) be a translation of the graph of g(x) by (h, k), write it as ...

 f(x) = g(x -h) +k

You want to translate g(x) = x^2 by (2, 1), 2 units right and 1 unit up, so the function f(x) is ...

 f(x) = g(x -2) +1
