There is a 0.9991 probability that a randomly selected 31​-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charge

s ​$166 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the​ year, the policy pays out ​$90 comma 000 as a death benefit. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.
a. From the perspective of the 31-year-old male, what are the monetary values corresponding to the two events of surviving the year and not surviving?
b. If the 31-year-old male purchases the policy, what is his expected value?
c. Can the insurance company expect to make a profit from many such policies? Why?

Answer:

a) Monetary values corresponding to the two events are:

-In case of surviving the year = -166$

-In case of a death in the year = 89834$

b) Expected value of the purchasing the insurance is -85 $

c) Yes, insurance company can make a profit with this policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>a)</em> The man need to pay 166$ first to enroll the insurance policy. If he survives within a year, he will lose 166$. Otherwise, if he dies within a year he will profit 89834$.

<em>b)</em> Expected value of the purchasing the insurance as following:

<u>-In case of surviving the year: </u>

Value: -166$

Probability: 0,9991

<u>-In case of death in a year </u>

Value: 89834$

Probability: 0,0009

Expected value is E(x) = -166×0,9991 + 89834×0,0009 = -85 $

<em>c)</em> Lets consider that 10000 different 31 year old man enrolled to this insurance policy. According to probability of death, 9 out of 10000 man expected to be dead within the year. Therefore, company need to pay 9*90000 = 810000$ to their costumers. But, company will collect 10000*166=1660000$ from their costumers in the beginning of the year

So, it is expected that company is going to profit 1660000-810000=850000$ per year.

How many ml of a 20% acid mixture and a 80% acid mixture should be mixed to get 120ml of a 35% acid mixture?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Volume of Mixture A =90 ml

Volume of Mixture B =30 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say, Mixture A + Mixture B = Mixture C

Volume of Mixture A is x

Volume of Mixture B is y

So, Volume of Mixture C is x+y = 120 ml

Now, Acid contain in Mixture A is 20% =0.2x

Acid contain in Mixture B is 80% =0.8y

Also, Acid contain in Mixture C is 35% =(0.35)(x+y) = 0.35×120=42

Now, we know that,

Acid contain of Mixture A + Acid contain of Mixture B=Acid contain of Mixture C

∴ 0.2x+0.8y=42

∴ 2x+8y=420

We get two linear equations

2x+8y=420 and x+y = 120

Solving above equation...

∴ x=120-y

Replacing x value in 2x+8y=420

∴ 2(120-y)+8y=420

∴ 240-2y+8y=420

∴ 6y=180

∴ y=30

Replacing y value in any equation

∴ x=120-y=120-30=90

∴ x=90

Thus,

Volume of Mixture A is x=90 ml

Volume of Mixture B is y=30 ml

A drink is made by mixing 650 ml of water with 150 ml of fruit juice.
Luda [366]
<h2>○=> <u>Correct answer</u> :</h2>

\boxed{\color{hotpink}\tt18.75\%} of the drink is fruit juice

<h3>○=> <u>Steps to derive correct answer</u> :</h3>

Quantity of water in a drink = 650 ml

Quantity of fruit juice in a drink = 150 ml

Total quantity of both items in the drink :

=\tt 650 + 150

\color{plum}=\tt 800 \: ml

Thus, the total quantity of both items in the drink = 800 ml

Let the percentage of of fruit juice in the drink be x%.

Which means :

=  \tt\frac{x}{100}  \times 800 = 150

= \tt \frac{x \times 800}{100}  = 150

=\tt  \frac{800x}{100}  = 150

=\tt 8x = 150

=\tt x =  \frac{150}{8}

\hookrightarrow\color{plum} \bold{x = 18.75\%}

Then, the percentage of water in the drink :

= \tt100 - 18.75

\color{plum}= \tt81.25\%

Thus, the percentage of water in the drink = 81.25%

<h3>○=> <u>Therefore</u> :</h3>

▪︎Percentage of fruit juice in the drink = 18.75%

▪︎Percentage of water in the drink = 81.75%

Three consecutive vertices of a parallelogram are (– 2, 1); (1, 0) and (4, 3). Find the coordinate of the fourth vertex and find
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

D(1,4) - the fourth vertex, the area is equal to 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A(2,-1), B(1,0),C(4,3), They are consecutive, we need to find the point D, find the midpoint of AC (O)

xo= (xA+xc)/2    x0= (-2+4)/2=1

y0=(yA+yC)/2    y0= (1+3)/2=2

0(1,2)

O is the midpoint of BD, so let's find the vertex D

X0= (xB+xD)/2     1= (1+xD)/2   xD=1

y0= (yB+yD)/2      2= (0+yD)/2    yD=4

D(1,4)

the vector DA is (-2-1, 1-4)= (-3,-3)

the vector DC is (4-1, 3-4)= (3,-1)

The modul of DC is sqrt ((-3)^2+(-3)^2)= 3*sqrt2(the length of the side Dc)

The modul of DA is sqrt (3^2+(-1)^2)= sqrt10(the length of the side DA)

cosD= (-3*3+(-3)(-1))/3*sqrt2*sqrt10=-6/3*2*sqrt5=-1/sqrt5

sinD= sqrt (1- 1/5)=2/ sqrt5

S=3sqrt2*sqrt10*2/sqrt5= 12
