A company that sells annuities must base the annual payout on the probability distribution of the length of life of the particip

ants in the plan. Suppose the probability distribution of the lifetimes of the participants is approximately a normal distribution with a mean of 68 years and a standard deviation of 3.5 years (Show your workings clearly).
a) What proportion of the plan recipients would receive payments beyond age 75?

b) What proportion of the plan recipients die before they reach the standard retirement age of 65?

c) Find the age at which payments have ceased for approximately 86% of the plan participants.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be length of life of the participants in the plan.

Given that X is N(68,3.5)

We convert this to standard normal score z using

z=\frac{x-68}{3.5}

a)  proportion of the plan recipients that would receive payments beyond age 75=P(X\geq 75) = P(Z\geq 2)\\= 0.025

b) proportion of the plan recipients die before they reach the standard retirement age of 65=P(X\leq 65) = P(z\leq -0.86)\\=0.5-0.2764\\=0.2236

c) x for 86% ceased

P(Z

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river. After 2 hours the motorboat turns aroun
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of motorboat in still water and y mph be the speed of current.

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river, then speeds down the river are:

        motorboat =  x + y mph

        raft = y mph

In two hours they will cover:

        motorboat = 2(x+y) miles

        raft = 2y miles

After 2 hours the motorboat turns around and starts moving towards the raft (against the current), so its speed is now x - y mph.

Let t be the time they move towards each other. In t hours, they cover

        motorboat = t(x - y) miles

        raft = ty miles

The distance from the starting point to the turning point is the same as the sum of the distances the raft covers and the motorboat covers after turning around, so

2(x+y)=2y+t(x-y)+ty \\ \\2x+2y=2y+tx-ty+ty\\ \\2x=tx\\ \\t=2\ hours

Which equation does the graph below represent? <br>y = 1/4x <br>y= 4x <br>y= -1/4x<br>y= -4x​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

y = -4x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+c

gradient, m

= (4-0)/(-1-0)

= -4

y-intercept, c

= 0

y = -4x+0

y = -4x

The temperature at a point (x, y) is T(x, y), measured in degrees Celsius. A bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is
aniked [119]

Answer:

10.50°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = 2 + t , y = 1 + 1/2t where x and y are measured in centimeters. Also, the temperature function satisfies Tx(2, 2) = 9 and Ty(2, 2) = 3

The rate of change in temperature of the bug path can be expressed using the composite formula:

dT/dt = Tx(dx/dt) + Ty(dy/dt)

If x = 2+t; dx/dt = 1

If y = 1+12t; dy/dt = 1/2

Substituting the parameters gotten into dT/dt we will have;

dT/dt = 9(1)+3(1/2)

dT/dt = 9+1.5

dT/dt = 10.50°C/s

Hence the rate at which the temperature is rising along the bug's path is 10.50°C/s
