Answer:

Yes, It is better to buy the insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Cost of Health Insurance for a month = 900$ per month

As 20 Years = 20*12 months = 240 months

Cost of Health Insurance for 20 years = 900 * 240

Cost of Health Insurance for 20 years = 216,000$

Insurance claim in case of having dramatic injury = Cost of Dramatic Injury = 500,000$

Insurance claim in case of having no dramatic injury = 0$

Chances of dramatic injury in 20 years = P(A) = 47.3%

Chances of not having dramatic injury in 20 years = P(B) = 100% - 47.3%

Chances of not having dramatic injury in 20 years = P(B) = 52.7%

Expected Insurance Claim for 20 years:

Expected Insurance Claim for 20 years = (Chances of having dramatic injury in 20 years * Insurance claim) + (Chances of not having dramatic injury * Insurance claim)

Expected Insurance Claim for 20 years = P(A) * 500,000$ + P(B) * 0$

Expected Insurance Claim for 20 years = 47.3% * 500,000 + 52.7% * 0

Expected Insurance Claim for 20 years = 236500 + 0

Expected Insurance Claim for 20 years = 236,500$

Expected Profit:

As expected insurance claim is 236,500$ is more than the cost of health insurance for 20 years and we are expected to have profit of 20,500$, thus we should take the health insurance.

Let f(x)= 12/4x+2 find f(-1)
denis23 [38]
F(x) = 12/(4x+2)

x = -1

f(-1) = 12 / [4(-1)+2]

f(-1) = 12 / (-4+2)

f(-1) = 12 / -2

f(-1) = -6

20). Tasha is planning an expansion of a square flower garden in a city park. If each side of the original is increased by 7m, t
Vikki [24]
144=(x+7)^2  take the square root of both sides...

12=x+7  subtract 7 from both sides...

x=5

So the original was a 5m square.

...

255=WL and you are told that W=L+2 so the equation becomes:

255=(L+2)L

255=L^2+2L

L^2+2L-255=0

L^2+17L-15L-255=0

L(L+17)-15(L+17)=0

(L-15)(L+17)=0  Since L>0...

L=15yd, and since W=L+2, W=17yd so

length=15, width=17yd

Answer: 1/6 or 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

So on a die the only multiples of 3 are 3 and 6 so that leaves us with a 2/6 or 1/3 chance of the die and the coin is always a 50% chance so together multiplied is 1/6 or 17 %
