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.

P and W are twice-differentiable functions with P(7)=2(W(7)). The line y=9+2.5(x-7) is tangent to the graph of P at x=7. The lin
fiasKO [112]

Using the product rule, we have

m(x) = x W(x) \implies m'(x) = xW'(x) + W(x)

so that

m'(7) = 7W'(7) + W(7)

The equation of the tangent line to <em>W(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 7 has all the information we need to determine <em>m'</em> (7).

When <em>x</em> = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of <em>W(x)</em>, and

<em>y</em> = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7)   ==>   <em>y</em> = 4.5

means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means <em>W</em> (7) = 4.5.

The slope of this tangent line is 2, so <em>W'</em> (7) = 2.

Then

m'(7) = 7\cdot2 + 4.5 = \boxed{18.5}
