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.

The law of cosines is used to find the measure of Z.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

C. Z=51^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a triangle. We are asked to find the measure of angle Z using Law of cosines.

Law of cosines: c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cdot \text{cos}(C), where, a, b and c are sides opposite to angles A, B and C respectively.

Upon substituting our given values in law of cosines, we will get:

16^2=19^2+18^2-2(19)(18)\cdot \text{cos}(Z)

256=361+324-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)

256=685-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)

256-685=685-685-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)

-429=-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)

\frac{-429}{-684}=\frac{-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)}{-684}

0.627192982456=\text{cos}(Z)

\text{cos}(Z)=0.627192982456

Now, we will use inverse cosine or arc-cos to solve for angle Z as:

Z=\text{cos}^{-1}(0.627192982456)

Z=51.1566718^{\circ}

Z\approx 51^{\circ}

Therefore, the measure of angle Z is approximately 51 degrees.
