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.

Given the parametric equations x = 2sint and y = -3cost on 0 ≤ t ≤ π. convert to a rectangular equation and sketch the curve
Temka [501]

The rectangular equation for given parametric equations x = 2sin(t) and   y = -3cos(t) on 0 ≤ t ≤ π is  \frac{x^{2} }{4} +\frac{y^2}{9} =1 which is an ellipse.

For given question,

We have been given a pair of parametric equations x = 2sin(t) and           y = -3cos(t) on 0 ≤ t ≤ π.

We need to convert given parametric equations to a rectangular equation and sketch the curve.

Given parametric equations can be written as,

x/2 = sin(t) and y/(-3) = cos(t) on 0 ≤ t ≤ π.

We know that the trigonometric identity,

sin²t + cos²t = 1

⇒ (x/2)² + (- y/3)² = 1

⇒ \frac{x^{2} }{4} +\frac{y^2}{9} =1

This represents an ellipse with center (0, 0), major axis 18 units and minor axis 8 units.

The rectangular equation is  \frac{x^{2} }{4} +\frac{y^2}{9} =1

The graph of the rectangular equation \frac{x^{2} }{4} +\frac{y^2}{9} =1 is as shown below.

Therefore, the rectangular equation for given parametric equations x = 2sint and y = -3cost on 0 ≤ t ≤ π is  \frac{x^{2} }{4} +\frac{y^2}{9} =1 which is an ellipse.
