icies dies before the age of 70, the company must pay out $26,500 to the beneficiary of the policy, Executives at Avicenna are considering offering these policies for $497 each. Suppose that for each holder of a policy there is a 2% chance that they will die before the age of 70 and a 98% chance they will live to the age of 70.
If the executives at Avicenna know that they will sell many of these policies, should they expect to make or lose money from offering them? How much?
To answer, take into account the price of the policy and the expected value of the amount paid out to the beneficiary.
Avicenna can expect to make money from offering these policies. In the long run, they should expect to make _________ dollars on each policy sold,
Avicenna can expect to lose money from offering these policies. In the long run, they should expect to lose ________ dollars on each policy sold

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.

Vic is standing on the ground at a point directly south of the base of the CN Tower and can see the top when looking at an angle
Sindrei [870]

The angle of elevation of 61° and 72° with the height of the tower being 553.3 m. gives Vic's distance from Dan as approximately 356 meters.

<h3>How can the distance between Vic and Dan be calculated?</h3>

Location of Vic relative to the tower = South

Vic's sight angle of elevation to the top of the tower = 61°

Dan's location with respect to the tower = West

Dan's angle of elevation in order to see the top of the tower = 72°

Height of the tower = 553.3m

tan( \theta) =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan( 61 ^{ \circ}) =  \frac{553.3}{ Vic' s\: distance \: to \: tower}

distance  =  \frac{553.3}{tan ( {61}^{ \circ} )}  = 306.7

  • Vic's distance from the tower ≈ 306.7 m

Similarly, we have;

Dan's distance  =  \frac{553.3}{tan ( {72}^{ \circ} )}  = 179.8

  • Dan's distance from the tower ≈ 179.8 m

Given that Vic and Dan are at right angles relative to the tower (Vic is on the south of the tower while Dan is at the west), by Pythagorean theorem, the distance between Vic and Dan <em>d </em>is found as follows;

  • d = √(306.7² + 179.8²) ≈ 356

Therefore;

  • Vic is approximately 356 meters from Dan
