Answer:

<h3> Bob will pay a maximum of 39 thousand dollars for the insurance.</h3>

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) = 0.33 * ln(28) + 0.67 * ln(109)

=0.33 * 3.3322 + 0.67 * 4.6913

=1.0996 + 3.1432

=4.24

E(U) = 4.24

The wealth corresponding to this expected utility is given by w = exp(E(U)) = exp(4.24) = 69.602

= 70 dollars.

Hence the maximum Bob is willing to pay for the insurance can be given by = 109 - 70

= 39  dollars.

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

<h3>Hence Bob will pay a maximum of 39 thousand dollars for the insurance.</h3>

If the discriminat of a quadratic equation is 4 which statement describes the roots
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: using the discriminant to find the number of solutions to a quadratic equation b^2-4ac. positive discriminant indicates that the quadratic has <u>two distinct real number solutions.</u> The roots of a function are the x-intercepts. By definition, the y-coordinate of points lying on the x-axis is zero. Therefore, to find the roots of a quadratic function, we set f (x) = 0, and solve the equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

ONLY ANSWER NO WORK WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Whitepunk [10]
Alright, here goes:
For this question, you are asked about the median and Interquartile Range(IQR), so first you need to understand what that means.
The IQR is the box in the middle of the box-and-whisker-plot. The question asks for the place to have a small IQR, so the most likely places are Pensacola and Jacksonville.
The question is also asking for a high median temperature. The median is the line in the middle of the plot.
The median of Pensacola's plot is higher than the median of Jacksonville, so Pensacola Beach is your answer :)
