Answer:

The insurance company can expect to make $900 on the policy

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount Ted pays per year for insurance on his home = $1,400

The value of the insurance policy = $5000

The chance that Ted will make a claim on the policy = 10%

The expected value is given as follows

Incidence    {}                 Probability        Value                                   v × p

A claim is made  {}          0.1                  $5,000 - $1,400 = -$3,600    -$360

No claim  {}                      0.9  {}               $1,400                                     $1260

Expected value is $1,260 - $360 = $900

The value the insurance company can be expected to make on average on the policy is $900

How do you solve P=3r+2s; for s?
EastWind [94]
P = 3r + 2s --> P - 3r = 3r - 3r + 2s
2s = P - 3r --> 2s/2 = (P - 3r)/2
s = (P - 3r)/2

Tuna provides 30 calories per ounce . On a graph representing the relationship between the number of ounces of tuna a person con
Rama09 [41]
Ounces of tuna will go on the x axis and calories on the y axis.  This is because the relationship between the number of ounces a person eats and the calories he consumes then is a positive correlation (a line with a positive slope which goes from lower left to upper right) with x being the independent variable. As x increases, y increases. In other words you can ONLY change the amount of calories you consume WHEN you change the amount of ounces you eat.  You can't change the number of calories independent of the number of ounces. The independent variable goes along the x axis, cuz the x variable always represents the independent variable.
