g Bob's farm harvests corns worth 83 thousand dollars (and nothing else). In each year, there is a 38% chance that a storm will

attack and leaves him with only 20 thousand dollars worth of the corns. Bob's preferences over wealth are represented by U=\ln{w} . What is the maximum that Bob is willing to pay for full insurance (in unit of thousand dollars)?

Answer:

Hence Bob will pay a maximum of 35 thousand dollars for the insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected Utility for Bob is given by:  

wealth w is measured in thousands of dollars

E(U) = Probability of storm * Utility if storm happens + (1- Probability of storm) * Utility if there is no storm)

E(U) = 0.38 * ln(20) + 0.62 * ln(83)

=0.38 * 2.9957 + 0.62 * 4.4188

=1.138378 + 2.73968

=3.878059

≅3.88

E(U) = 3.88

The wealth corresponding to this expected utility is given by w = exp(E(U)) = exp(3.88) = 48.33

≅48

= 48 dollars.

Hence the maximum Bob is willing to pay for the insurance can be given by = 83- 48

= 35  dollars.

<u>Since it in unit of thousand dollars</u>

<u />

Hence Bob will pay a maximum of 35 thousand dollars for the insurance.

A line contains the points (-7,15) and (10,27) what is the slope of the line as a simplified fraction?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The slope of line for given points is   \frac{12}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points of line as :

A  = ( - 7 , 15 ) i, e x_1 = - 7 ,  x_1 = 15

B = ( 10 , 27 )  i.e  x_2 =  10 , y_2 = 27

Let The slope of line be m

So , The slope with two points is given as equation

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Or, m =  \frac{27 - 15}{10 + 7}

Or, m =  \frac{12}{17}

Hence The slope of line for given points is   \frac{12}{17} .  Answer

Solve these inequalities
Setler [38]

Answer:

x>±4

x<±1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequalities

x² > 16

Square root both sides

√x² > ±√16

x > ±4

The solution is x>±4

2) x² < 1

Square root both sides

√x² <±√1

x < ±1

Hence the solution is x<±1
