Answer:

This driver's insurance premium should be at least $990.43.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the probability of a driver getting into an accident is 6.4%, the average cost of an accident is $13,991.05, and the overhead cost for an insurance company per insured driver is $95.

As we know that the expected cost that the insurance company has to pay for each of driver having met with the accident is given by;

The Expected cost to the insurance company = Probability of driver getting into an accident $\times$ Average cost of an accident

So, the expected cost to the insurance company = $0.064 \times \$13,991.05$

= $895.43

Also, the overhead cost for an insurance company per insured driver = $95. This means that the final cost for the insurance company for each driver = $895.43 + $95 = $990.43.

Hence, this driver's insurance premium should be at least $990.43.

Why does the square root of 3 x the square root of 3 = 3?

stealth61 [152]

Answer: the square root of 3 is: (a number) times ITSELF is equal to 3. Therefore, if you multiply that number times that number again, it is equal to 3.

Ex1- sqrt of 4 times the sqrt of 4 —> 2 times 2 which is 4

Ex2- sqrt of 9 times the sqrt of 9 —> 3 times 3 which is 9

A five-digit number starts with a number between 4-9 in the first position, with no restrictions on the remaining 4 digits. a

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(a) $Pr = 0.3024$

(b) $Pr = 0.6976$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Start = \{5,6,7,8\}$ i.e. between 4 and 9

$n(Start) =4$

$Digits = 5$

Solving (a): Probability that each of the 5 digit are different

Since there is no restriction;

The total possible selection is as follows:

$First\ digit = 4$ (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

$Second\ digit = 10\\$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Third\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Fourth\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Fifth\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

So, the total is:

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

$Total = 40000$

For selection that all digits are different, the selection is:

$First\ digit = 4$ (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

$Second\ digit = 9$ (i.e. any of the remaining 9)

$Third\ digit = 8$ (i.e. any of the remaining 8)

$Fourth\ digit = 7$ (i.e. any of the remaining 7)

$Fifth\ digit = 6$ (i.e. any of the remaining 6)

So:

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$

$Selection =12096$

So, the probability is:

$Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}$

$Pr = \frac{12096}{40000}$

$Pr = 0.3024$

Solving (b): At least 1 repeated digit

The probability calculated in (a) is the all digits are different i.e. P(None)

So, using laws of complement

We have:

$P(At\ least\ 1) = 1 - P(None)$

So, we have:

$Pr= 1 - 0.3024$

$Pr = 0.6976$

Solving (c): An expression to model the probability.

<em>Using (a) as a point of reference, we have;</em>

$Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}$

Where

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$ ---- for selection of 5 i.e. n = 5

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$

This can be rewritten as:

$Selection = 4 * ^9P_4$

4 can be expressed as: 5 - 1

So, we have:

$Selection = (5-1) *^9P_{5-1}$

Substitute n for 5

$Selection = (n-1) *^9P_{n-1}$

$Selection = (n-1)^9P_{n-1}$

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

This can be rewritten as:

$Total = 4 * 10^4$

$Total = (5-1) * 10^{5-1}$

$Total = (n-1) * 10^{n-1}$

$Total = (n-1) 10^{n-1}$

So, the expression is:

$Pr = \frac{(n-1)^9P_{n-1}}{(n-1)10^{n-1}}$

$Pr = \frac{^9P_{n-1}}{10^{n-1}}$

<em>Where n represents the digit number</em>

sarah can complete a project in 90 minutes and her sister betty can complete it in 120 minutes if they both work on the project

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

$\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min$

So it will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together.
