ABC Auto Insurance classifies drivers as good, medium, or poor risks. Drivers who apply to them for insurance fall into these th

ree groups in the proportions 30 percent, 50 percent, and 20 percent, respectively. The probability a "good" driver will have an accident is .01, the probability a "medium" risk driver will have an accident is .03, and the probability a "poor" driver will have an accident is .10. The company sells Mr. Brophy an insurance policy and he has an accident. What is the probability Mr. Brophy is: a. A "good" driver? b. A "medium" risk driver? c. A "poor" driver?

Answer:

a.P(E_1/A)=0.0789

b.P(E_2/A)=0.395\

c.P(E_3/A)=0.526

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E_1,E_2,E_3 are the events that denotes the good drive, medium drive and poor risk driver.

P(E_1)=0.30,P(E_2)=0.50,P(E_3)=0.20

Let A be the event that denotes an accident.

P(A/E_1)=0.01

P(A/E_2=0.03

P(A/E_3)=0.10

The company sells Mr. Brophyan insurance policy and he has an accident.

a.We have to find the probability Mr.Brophy is a good driver

Bayes theorem,P(E_i/A)=\frac{P(A/E_i)\cdot P(E_1)}{\sum_{i=1}^{i=n}P(A/E_i)\cdot P(E_i)}

We have to find P(E_1/A)

Using the Bayes theorem

P(E_1/A)=\frac{P(A/E_1)\cdot P(E_1)}{P(E_1)\cdot P(A/E_1)+P(E_2)P(A/E_2)+P(E_3)P(A/E_3)}

Substitute the values then we get

P(E_1/A)=\frac{0.30\times 0.01}{0.01\times 0.30+0.50\times 0.03+0.20\times 0.10}

P(E_1/A)=0.0789

b.We have to find the probability Mr.Brophy is a medium driver

P(E_2/A)=\frac{0.03\times 0.50}{0.038}=0.395

c.We have to find the probability Mr.Brophy is a poor driver

P(E_3/A)=\frac{0.20\times 0.10}{0.038}=0.526

In any​ year, the weather can inflict storm damage to a home. From year to​ year, the damage is random. Let Y denote the dollar
krok68 [10]

Answer:

a. mean = 1000

standard deviation = 4358.9

b. expected value of average damage bar Y = 1000

probability bar y exceeds 2000 = 0.011

Step-by-step explanation:

we have p1 = 95%, y1 = 0, p2 = 5%, y2 = 20000

Mean = (0.95 * 0) + (0.05 * 20000)

= 1000

var(y) = E(y²) - E(Y)²

= we solve for E(y)²

= 0²*0.95 + 20000²*0.05

= 0 + 20000000

then the variance of y = 20000000 - 1000²

=20000000-1000000

= $19000000

standard  deviation is the square root of variance

= √19000000

= 4358.9

2.

a. Expected value of average is also the mean = 1000

b. we are to find probability that barY exceeds 2000

z=\frac{2000-1000}{\sqrt{19000000/100} }

= 1000/435.889

= 2.29

1-p(z≤2.29)

= 1 - 0.989

= 0.011

so the probability that barY exceeds 2000 is 0.011

Factorise the following 4(x-1)²-9 need solution
kumpel [21]

Answer:x= 5/2 x= -1/2


Step-by-step explanation:

4(x-1)2-9

4(x2-2x+1) - 9

4x2 - 8x + 4 - 9

4x2 - 8x - 5

4x2 +2x - 10x - 5

2x(2x+1) - 5(2x+1)

(2x-5)(2x+1)

therefore, x= 5/2 x= -1/2
