Answer:

Avicenna can expect to lose money from offering these policies. In the long run, they should expect to lose ___33__ dollars on each policy sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The amount the company Avicenna must pay to the shareholder if the person die before 70 years = $ 26,500

The value of each policy = $497

It is given that there is a 2% chance that people will die before 70 years and 98% chance that people will live till the age 70.

The expected policy to be sold= policy nominal + chances of death

                                      = 497 + [98% (no pay) + 2% (pay)]

                                     = 497 + [98%(0) + 2%(-26500)]

(The negative sign shows that money goes out of the company)

                                   = 497 - 2% (26500)

                                  = 497 - 530

                                  =33

Therefore the company loses 33 dollar on each policy sold in the long run.

Do not understand please help <br> Thank u
AysviL [449]

Answer:

43.4

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to use the phythagoream therom, which is a² + b² = c².  Plug the values in for the variables to get 7² + b² = 44², (c would equal the hypothenuse because the hypothenuse is the longest side of the triangle.)  Square the values to get 49 + b² = 1936.  Subtract 49 from both sides to get b² = 1887, then take the square root of both sides to get b = 43.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth.)  

I am really sorry if I'm wrong, but have a good day/night!  :)
