Let X be the damage incurred (in $) in a certain type of accident during a given year. Possible X values are 0, 1000, 5000, and

10000, with probabilities 0.81, 0.09, 0.08, and 0.02, respectively. A particular company offers a $500 deductible policy. If the company wishes its expected profit to be $100, what premium amount should it charge?

Answer:

$600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X denote the damage in $ incurred in a certain type of accident during a given year. The probability distribution of X is given by

                        X : \begin{pmatrix}0 & 1000 & 5000 & 10\; 000\\0.81 & 0.09 & 0.08 & 0.02\end{pmatrix}

A company offers a $500 deductible policy and it wishes its expected profit to be $100. The premium function is given by

                    F(x) = \left \{ {{X+100, \quad  \quad  \quad \quad \quad \text{for} \; X = 0 } \atop {X-500+100} , \quad \text{for} \; X = 500,4500,9500} \right.

For X = 0,  we have

                              F(X) = 0+100 = 100

For X = 500,

                             F(X) = 500-500+100 = 100

For X = 4500,

                            F(X) = 4500-500+100 = 4100

For X = 9500,

                            F(X) = 9500-500+100 = 9100

Therefore, the probability distribution of F is given by

                           F : \begin{pmatrix} 100 & 100 & 41000 & 91000\\0.81 & 0.09 & 0.08 & 0.02\end{pmatrix}

To determine the premium amount that the company should charge, we need to calculate the expected value of F.

E(F(X)) = \sum \limits_{i=1}^{4} f(x_i) \cdot p_i = 100 \cdot 0.81 + 100 \cdot 0.09 + 4100 \cdot 0.08 + 9100 \cdot 0.02

Therefore,

                             E(F) = 81+9+328+182 = 600

which means the $600 is the amount the should be charged.

1. Write the equation in standard form. Identify the important features of the graph:
NeTakaya

Answer:

  1. (x-4.5)^2 +(y +5)^2 = 30.25
  2. x = (1/8)y^2 +(1/2)y +(1/2)
  3. y^2/36 -x^2/64 = 1
  4. x^2/16 +y^2/25 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Complete the square for both x and y by adding a constant equal to the square of half the linear term coefficient. Subtract 15, and rearrange to standard form.

  (x^2 -9x +4.5^2) +(y^2 +10y +5^2) = 4.5^2 +5^2 -15

  (x -4.5)^2 +(y +5)^2 = 30.25 . . . . . write in standard form

Important features: center = (4.5, -5); radius = 5.5.

__

2. To put this in the form x=f(y), we need to add 8x, then divide by 8.

  x = (1/8)y^2 +(1/2)y +(1/2)

Important features: vertex = (0, -2); focus = (2, -2); horizontal compression factor = 1/8.

__

3. We want y^2/a^2 -x^2/b^2 = 1 with a=36 and b=(36/(3/4)^2) = 64:

  y^2/36 -x^2/64 = 1

__

4. In the form below, "a" is the semi-axis in the x-direction. Here, that is 8/2 = 4. "b" is the semi-axis in the y-direction, which is 5 in this case. We want x^2/a^2 +y^2/b^2 = 1 with a=4 and b=5.

  x^2/16 +b^2/25 = 1

_____
