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.

Two numbers are in the ratio 7:5 and their difference is 22.Find the numbers​
omeli [17]

Answer:

Let x and y be the two numbers. Then

yx=57  and x−y=20

Cross multiplying the proportion

5x=7y  or y=75x

So, x−y=20

x−75x=20⇒77x−5x=72x=20

⇒x=2140=70

y=75x=75×70=50

So smaller number is 50.

Check :yx=5070=57 and 70−50=20
