An insurance company issues life insurance policies in three separate categories: standard,preferred,and ultra- preferred. Of th
slega [8]

Answer:

a) 0.0002

b) 0.0057

c) 0.0364

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by stating the probabilities of a person belonging to each policy:

Standard: 0.3

Preferred: 0.5

Ultra- Preferred: 0.2

The probability of person belonging to each policy AND dying in the next year:

Standard: 0.3 x 0.015 = 0.0045

Preferred: 0.5 x 0.002 = 0.001

Ultra- Preferred: 0.2 x 0.001 = 0.0002

a) The probability a ultra - preferred policy holder dies in the next year is 0.001. To find the probability of a person being both a ultra - preferred policy holder AND die in the next year is: 0.001 x 0.2= 0.0002

b)  The probability is given by adding the probabilities calculated before :

0.0045 + 0.001 + 0.0002 = 0.0057

c) We use the results above again. This is 0.0002 / (0.001 + 0.0045). The answer comes out to be 0.0364

A rectangular prism has a length of 20 in a width of 2 in and a height of 3 1/4 in the prism is filled with cubes that have edge
Zinaida [17]
You can express the edge lengths in terms of "cubes" or you divide the total volume by the volume of a cube. It works either way.

Edge lengths are
.. 80 cubes by 8 cutes by 13 cubes
so total volume is
.. (80 * 8 * 13) = 8320 cubes


In cubic inches, the volume is
.. (20 in)*(2 in)*(3 1/4 in) = 130 in^3.
The volume of a 1/4-in cube is (1/4 in)^3 = 1/64 in^3.
Then the number of cubes that will fit in the prism is
.. (130 in^3)/(1/64 in^3) = 8320 . . . . cubes

8320 cubes are needed to fill the rectangular prism.

Suppose that two openings on an appellate court bench are to be filled from current municipal court judges. The municipal court
Ksju [112]

Answer:

(a)\dfrac{92}{117}

(b)\dfrac{8}{39}

(c)\dfrac{25}{117}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Men, n(M)=24

Number of Women, n(W)=3

Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27

Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are <u>without replacement.</u>

(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

P(MM)=\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{23}{26}=\dfrac{552}{702}\\=\dfrac{92}{117}

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.

To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.

  • A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
  • A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.

P(One man and one woman are appointed)=P(MW)+P(WM)

=(\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{3}{26})+(\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{24}{26})\\=\dfrac{72}{702}+\dfrac{72}{702}\\=\dfrac{144}{702}\\=\dfrac{8}{39}

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.

The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.

  • A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
  • A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
  • Two women are appointed

P(at least one woman is appointed)=P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)

P(WW)=\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{2}{26}=\dfrac{6}{702}

In Part B, P(MW)+P(WM)=\frac{8}{39}

Therefore:

P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)=\dfrac{8}{39}+\dfrac{6}{702}\\$P(at least one woman is appointed)=\dfrac{25}{117}

If sinA =3/5 and A+B =90 find cosB
-Dominant- [34]

A+B=90^o\to B=90^o-A\\\\\cos B=\cos(90^o-A)=\cos90^o\cos A+\sin90^o\sin A\\\\=\cos A+1\cdot\dfrac{3}{5}=0+\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\\boxed{\cos B=\dfrac{3}{5}}

Used:\\\\\cos(x+y)=\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y\\\\\cos90^o=0,\ sin90^o=1

Other method:

Look at the picture.

\sin\theta=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\\sin A=\dfrac{3}{5}\to opposite=3\ and\ hypotenuse=5

\cos\theta=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\adjacent=3\ and\ hypotenuse=5\to\cos B=\dfrac{3}{5}
