Answer:

The present age of my Father is 92 years  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Twelve years ago my father was twice as old as I was .

Three years ago our combined age was 138.

Now, From The statement

Let The age of my father = F

And The age of my = S

According to question

F - 12 = 2 × (S - 12)

Or, F - 12 = 2 S - 24

Or, 2 S - F = 24 - 12

∴ 2 S - F = 12                ..........1

Again

(F - 3) + (S - 3) = 138

Or, F + S - 6 = 138

Or, F + S = 138 + 6

∴  F + S = 144                 ...........2

Now, Solving equation 1 and 2

I.e (F + S) + (2 S - F) = 144 + 12

Or, (F - F) + (S + 2 S) = 156

Or, 0 + 3 S = 156

∴  S = \frac{156}{3}

I.e S = 52 years

So, The age of my = S = 52 years

Putting the value of S in Eq 2

I.e   F + S = 144  

or,  F + 52 = 144

Or, F = 144 - 52

∴    F = 92 years

So, The age of my father = F = 92 years

Hence The present age of my Father is 92 years  . Answer

If a 60 year old buys a $1000 life insurance policy at a cost of $50 and has a probability of 0.954 of living to age 61 find the
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The expectation of the policy until the person reaches 61 is of -$4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

0.954 probability of a loss of $50.

1 - 0.954 = 0.046 probability of "earning" 1000 - 50 = $950.

Find the expectation of the policy until the person reaches 61.

Each outcome multiplied by it's probability, so:

E = -0.954*50 + 0.046*950 = -4

The expectation of the policy until the person reaches 61 is of -$4.
