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.

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 763 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Saturday. There were 63 more cheeseburgers s
Airida [17]
In order to solve this we'll start by assigning variables to hamburgers and cheeseburgers, since these are what we're trying to find. Lets say x = hamburgers and y = cheeseburgers. So we know two things, we know that x+y= 763 (hamburgers plus cheeseburgers sold equals 763, and we know that y= x+63 (cheeseburgers sold equals 63 more than hamburgers sold). Now we have a system of equations. This can be solved most easily by rearranging each equation to each y, and then set them equal to each other:
x+y=763 -> y=763-x, and we already have y=x+63. Set them equal to each other:
x+63 = 763-x (add x to both sides) -> 2x+63 = 763 (subtract 63 from both sides) -> 2x = 700 (divide both sides by 2) x = 350. So we solved for x, which is hamburgers sold, which is what the question asks for, so your answer is 350 hamburgers were sold on Saturday

line w passes through point (-6,-7) and has a slope 1/2. what is the equation for the line in point-slope form?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

y + 7 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

Here m = \frac{1}{2} and (a, b ) = (- 6, - 7 ) , then

y - (- 7) = \frac{1}{2} (x - (- 6) ) , that is

y + 7 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 6)
