Losses covered by a flood insurance policy are uniformly distributed on the interval (0,2). The insurer pays the amount of the l

oss in excess of a deductible d. The probability that the insurer pays at least 1.20 on a random loss is 0.30. Calculate the probability that the insurer pays at least 1.44 on a random loss.

Answer:

The probability that the insurer pays at least 1.44 on a random loss is 0.18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the losses covered by a flood insurance policy.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Uniform distribution with parameters <em>a</em> = 0 and <em>b</em> = 2.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{b-a};\ a

It is provided, the probability that the insurer pays at least 1.20 on a random loss is 0.30.

That is:

P(X\geq 1.2+d)=0.30\\

⇒

P(X\geq 1.2+d)=\int\limits^{2}_{1.2+d}{\frac{1}{2}}\, dx

                0.30=\frac{2-1.2-d}{2}\\\\0.60=0.80-d\\\\d=0.80-0.60\\\\d=0.20

The deductible d is 0.20.

Compute the probability that the insurer pays at least 1.44 on a random loss as follows:

P(X\geq 1.44+d)=P(X\geq 1.64)

                        =\int\limits^{2}_{1.64}{\frac{1}{2}}\, dx\\\\=|\frac{x}{2}|\limits^{2}_{1.64}\\\\=\frac{2-1.64}{2}\\\\=0.18

Thus, the probability that the insurer pays at least 1.44 on a random loss is 0.18.

The table represents a linear function. find the values of a,b, and c. Show your work.
viva [34]

Answer:

The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the meaning of the linear function

- Linear function is represented by a line graphically

- The equation of the line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope

  of the line and c is the y-intercept (the point of intersection

  between the line and the y-axis is (0 , c))

- m = change of y/change of x

- We can find m from any two points on the line

* Lets use m to find a, b and c

- Use the points (3 , 8) and (5 , 9) to find m

∵ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∴ m = (9 - 8)/(5 - 3) = 1/2

- Find a by using points (a , 7) and (3 , 8) ⇒ (or (5 , 9))

∵ m = (8 - 7)/(3 - a) = 1/2

∴ 1/(3 - a) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3 - a = 2 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -a = -1 ⇒ × -1 both sides

∴ a = 1

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (7 , b) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (b - 9)/(7 - 5) = (b - 9)/2

∴ (b - 9)/2 = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 2(b - 9) = 2 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 2b - 18 = 2 ⇒ add 18 to both sides

∴ 2b = 20 ⇒ ÷ 2

∴ b = 10

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (c , 11) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (11 - 9)/(c - 5) = 2/(c - 5)

∴ 2/(c - 5) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ c - 5 = 4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = 9

* The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9
