Insurance companies A and B each earn an annual profit that is normally distributed with the same positive mean. The standard de

viation of company A’s annual profit is one half of its mean. In a given year, the probability that company B has a loss (negative profit) is 0.9 times the probability that company A has a loss.Calculate the ratio of the standard deviation of company B’s annual profit to the standard deviation of company A’s annual profit.(A) 0.49(B) 0.90(C) 0.98(D) 1.11(E) 1.71

Answer:

C. 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the mean of Company A and B annual profit and x/2 and y are standard deviation of Company A and B annual profit.

P(B<0) = 0.9*P(A<0)

P(Z<(0-x)/y) = 0.9*P(Z<(0-x)/(x/2))

P(Z<-x/y) = 0.9*P(Z<-2)

P(Z<-x/y) = 0.0205

x/y =2.04

Or y/x = 1 /2.05

y/x =0.49

Ratio of the standard deviation of company B annual profit to the standard deviation of company A annual profit =y/(x/2)

= 2*(y/x)

= 2*0.49

= 0.98

Answer: y=2x-1

We know that the equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept.

First to find the gradient, we use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.

x1 and y1 being the first set of coordinates (2,3) and x2 and y2 being the second set (4,7)

Now we sub in:
m=7-3/4-2
m=4/2
m=2

This is our gradient and we can put it into the equation: y=2x+b

Now we find the y-intercept (b). Since the y-intercept isn’t shown, we can sub in the coordinates to find it.

y=2x+b
Sub (2,3)
3=2(2)+b
3=4+b
-1=b

Sub (4,7)
7=2(4)+b
7=8+b
-1=b

Subbing in both coordinates gives us -1 as the y-intercept, so the finished equation is: y=2x-1

he length of a rectangle is three times the width. The perimeter is 240 inches. Find the length and the width.
sammy [17]

Answer:

Length = 90 inch.

width = 30 inch

Let width of the rectangle = x inch.

So the length = 3x inch.

Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2 (3x + x) = 8x.

So,

length = 3x = 3(30) = 90 inch.

width = x = 30 inch
