What is the decimal multiplier to increase by 3%?

If you want to increase something by 3%, you would ADD 100% to it, so:
3% + 100% = 103%
Then you divide it by 100 to turn it into a decimal, so:
103% / 100 = 1.03
So to increase by 3%, the multiplier would be 1.03



If you wanted to decrease by 3%, you would SUBTRACT 100% from 3%, so:
100% - 3% = 97%
And then you would divide 97% by 100 to turn it into a decimal (multiplier), so:
97% / 100 = 0.97
So to decrease by 3%, the multiplier would be 0.97

-8w-7+2w=23 what does that equal
olya-2409 [2.1K]
W=-5 because you distribute at the beginning with the 2 variables and you solve that's equation and you will end up with 6w divided by 30 and that's will give u W=-5

An automobile insurance company divides customers into three categories, good risks, medium risks, and poor risks. Assume taht 7
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) the probability is P(G∩C) =0.0035 (0.35%)

b) the probability is P(C) =0.008 (0.8%)

c) the probability is P(G/C) = 0.4375 (43.75%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event G= the customer is a good risk  , C= the customer fills a claim then using the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability

a) P(G∩C) = P(G)*P(C/G)

where

P(G∩C) = probability that the customer is a good risk and has filed a claim

P(C/G) = probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a good risk

replacing values

P(G∩C) = P(G)*P(C/G) = 0.70 * 0.005 = 0.0035 (0.35%)

b) for P(C)

P(C) = probability that the customer is a good risk *  probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a good risk + probability that the customer is a medium risk *  probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a medium risk +probability that the customer is a low risk *  probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a low risk =  0.70 * 0.005 + 0.2* 0.01 + 0.1 * 0.025

= 0.008 (0.8%)

therefore

P(C) =0.008 (0.8%)

c) using the theorem of Bayes:

P(G/C) =  P(G∩C) / P(C)

P(C/G) = probability that the customer is a good risk given that the customer has filled a claim

replacing values

P(G/C) =  P(G∩C) / P(C) = 0.0035 /0.008 = 0.4375 (43.75%)
