An automobile insurance company divides customers into three categories, good risks, medium risks, and poor risks. Assume taht 7

0% of the customers are good risks, 20% are medium risks, and 10% are poor risks. Assume that during the course of a year, a good risk customer has probability 0.005 of filing an accident claim, a medium risk customer has a probability of 0.01, and a poor risk customer has probability 0.025. a customer is chosen at random.
a) What is the probability that the customer is a good risk and has filed a claim?
b) What is the probability that the customer has filed a claim?
c) Given that the customer has filed a claim, what is the probability that the customer is a good risk?

Answer:

a) the probability is P(G∩C) =0.0035 (0.35%)

b) the probability is P(C) =0.008 (0.8%)

c) the probability is P(G/C) = 0.4375 (43.75%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event G= the customer is a good risk  , C= the customer fills a claim then using the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability

a) P(G∩C) = P(G)*P(C/G)

where

P(G∩C) = probability that the customer is a good risk and has filed a claim

P(C/G) = probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a good risk

replacing values

P(G∩C) = P(G)*P(C/G) = 0.70 * 0.005 = 0.0035 (0.35%)

b) for P(C)

P(C) = probability that the customer is a good risk *  probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a good risk + probability that the customer is a medium risk *  probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a medium risk +probability that the customer is a low risk *  probability to fill a claim given that the customer is a low risk =  0.70 * 0.005 + 0.2* 0.01 + 0.1 * 0.025

= 0.008 (0.8%)

therefore

P(C) =0.008 (0.8%)

c) using the theorem of Bayes:

P(G/C) =  P(G∩C) / P(C)

P(C/G) = probability that the customer is a good risk given that the customer has filled a claim

replacing values

P(G/C) =  P(G∩C) / P(C) = 0.0035 /0.008 = 0.4375 (43.75%)

A teachers desk is 5.5 meters long a students desk is 220 centimeters long what is the difference in the length in centimeters b
Mama L [17]

so if 5.5 is in meter let change it to cm because the question want us to give the answer in cm.

1cm = 0.01meter

to \: turn \: meters \: into \: \\  cm \: we \: have \: to \: multiply \:  by \: 100

now we multiply 5.5 times 100 which is equal to 550.

next we subtract 550 - 220= 330.

finally, the difference between a teacher and student is 330cm .meaning the teacher's desk is 330 cm longer or taller than the student.

Algebra 3, in the excercise size the graphs to determine the functions domain and range, x and y intercepts if any, and the func
fredd [130]

Answer:

Read Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is a list of all possible x-values, this graph starts at 0 and proceeds to positive infinity, making the domain:

[0,∞)

The range is a list of all possible y-values, this graph starts at -1 and proceeds to positive infinity, making the range:

[-1,∞)

x-intercepts Are where the line crosses the x-axis, in this graph the line only crosses the x-axis at x of 2. Making its only x-intercept 2.

y-intercepts Are where the line crosses the y-axis, in this graph the line only crosses the y-axis at y of -1. Therefore its y-intercept is -1.

In function notation when a question asks for f(x) its asking for the y values at the given x-values. At x of 3 the y value equals 1.

What is the probability that a random selected student at harbor high is 17 years old or older.
Triss [41]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the total number of students as 572 (bottom right cell in the table.)

The number of students who are 17 or older are the students in the two groups: 17-18 and 19-20.

There are 151 students with ages 17-18.

There are 34 students with ages 19-20.

The total of all students 17 or older is 151 + 34 = 185.

The probability of choosing a student age 17 or older is the number of students 17 or older (which is 185) divided by the total number of students (which is 572).

p(17 or older) = 185/572 = 0.3234 = 32.34%

We round 32.34% to the nearest integer to get 32%.
