Answer:

the idea behind the recurring decimal as a fraction, is to first off, multiply or divide by some power of 10, in order that we leave the recurring decimal to the right of the decimal point.

then we multiply by a power of 10, in order to move the repeating digits to the left of the decimal point, anyhow, let's proceed.

notice, we first divided by 10, to move the decimal point over to the right by 1 slot, then we multiplied by 100, to move it two digits over the decimal point, namely the repeating "12", thus we use 100. i think

Automobile policies are separated into two groups: low-risk and high-risk. Actuary Rahul examines low-risk policies, connuing un

jonny [76]

Answer:

The probability that Actuary Rahul examines fewer policies that Actuary Toby = 0.2857

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that Actuary Rahul examines a low risk policy

Probability of a low risk policy having a claim = 10% = 0.1

Actuary Toby examines high risk policy

Probability of a high risk policy having a claim = 20% = 0.2

Let the number of policies examined by actuary Rahul before he finds a claim and stop be n

Probability that actuary Rahul examines exactly n policies = $0.9^{n-1} (0.1)$

Probability that Toby examines more than n policies = $0.8^n$

Since the claim statuses of policies are mutually independent, the probability that both events happen simultaneously = $0.9^{n-1} (0.1) (0.8)^n$

probability that both events happen simultaneously = $\frac{0.1}{0.9} (0.72^{n})$

The probability that Actuary Rahul examines fewer policies that Actuary Toby = $\sum\limits^ \infty_1 {\frac{0.1}{0.9} 0.72^{n} }$ = $\frac{1}{9}\sum\limits^ \infty_1 { 0.72^{n} } = \frac{1}{9} (\frac{0.72}{1-0.72} ) = \frac{1}{9} (\frac{0.72}{0.28} )$

The probability that Actuary Rahul examines fewer policies that Actuary Toby = 0.2857
