An insurance company divides its policyholders into low-risk and high-risk classes. 60% were in the low-risk class and 40% in th

e high-risk class. Of those in the low-risk class, 80% had no claims, 15% had one claim, and 5% had two claims. Of those in the high-risk class, 50% had no claims, 30% had one claim, and 20% had two claims. (Write answers as exact decimals.)
a) What is the probability that a randomly selected policyholder is high-risk and filed no claims?
b) What is the probability that a randomly selected policyholder filed two claims?

Answer:

a). 0.294

b) 0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

the probability of the low risk = 0.60

the probability of the high risk = 0.40

let C_o represent no claim

let C_1 represent 1 claim

let C_2 represent 2 claim :

For low risk;

so, C_o  = (0.80 * 0.60 = 0.48),  C_1 =  (0.15* 0.60=0.09),   C_2 = (0.05 *  0.60=0.03)

For high risk:

C_o  = (0.50 *  0.40 = 0.2),  C_1 =  (0.30 *  0.40 = 0.12) ,   C_2 = ( 0.20 *  0.40 = 0.08)

Therefore:

a),  the probability that a randomly selected policyholder is high-risk and filed no claims can be computed as:

P(H|C_o) = \dfrac{P(H \cap C_o)}{P(C_o)}

P(H|C_o) = \dfrac{(0.2)}{(0.48+0.2)}

P(H|C_o) = \dfrac{(0.2)}{(0.68)}

P(H|C_o) = 0.294

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected policyholder filed two claims?

the probability that a randomly selected policyholder be filled with two claims = 0.03 + 0.08

= 0.11

Indicate whether the statement is true of false.
yawa3891 [41]

The statement is false, as the system can have no solutions or infinite solutions.

<h3>Is the statement true or false?</h3>

The statement says that a system of linear equations with 3 variables and 3 equations has one solution.

If the variables are x, y, and z, then the system can be written as:

a_1*x + b_1*y + c_1*z = d_1\\\\a_2*x + b_2*y + c_2*z = d_2\\\\a_3*x + b_3*y + c_3*z = d_3

Now, the statement is clearly false. Suppose that we have:

a_1 = a_2 = a_3\\b_1 = b_2 = b_3\\c_1 = c_2 = c_3\\\\d_1 \neq d_2 \neq  d_3

Then we have 3 parallel equations. Parallel equations never do intercept, then this system has no solutions.

Then there are systems of 3 variables with 3 equations where there are no solutions, so the statement is false.
