Insurance companies need to maintain a certain amount in reserved funds in order to pay anticipated claims. The average monthly claim amount for the last 60 months for company A was $7,500,000 and the (sample) standard deviation was $1,200,000.
(a) Find a 95% upper confidence bound on the average monthly claim amount.
(b) The regulations on the reserves will be strengthened in the near future. According to the new regulations, insurance companies that do not have sufficient amount in reserve will be subject to a significant penalty. Company A wants to adjust the target reserve amount accordingly, by computing a new upper bound on the average monthly claim amount. Should the company recalculate an upper confidence bound with a higher or a lower level of confidence? Briefly explain why. Then compute a 99.95% upper confidence bound on the average monthly claim amount.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a ) Upper bound of CI  is 7803483.87

b) The new upper bound is  8039767.74

Step-by-step explanation:

From sample data:

sample size    n  =  60

sample mean  x = 7500000

Sample standard deviation   s  =  1200000

a) Confidence Interval 95 %  then  significance level  α = 5 % o  α = 0.05

α/2 = 0.025     z(c) from z-table is  z(c) = 1.96

CI  95 % =  (   x  ±  z(c) * s/√n

CI  95 % =  (  7500000  ±  1.96 * 1200000/√60

CI  95 % =  (  7500000  ±  303483.87 )

CI  95 % =  ( 7196516.13  ;  7803483.87)

Then upper bound of CI  is 7803483.87

b) The company has to decrease the significance level equivalent to widen the confidence interval.

If CI now is   99.95 %    significance level is α = 0.0005 and

α/2 = 0.00025     z(c) for that α/2    is from z-table  z(c) ≈ 3.486

CI 99.95 %  = ( x ±  z(c)*s/√n

CI 99.95 %  =  7500000 ±  3.486*1200000/ √60

CI 99.95 %  =  (7500000 ±539767.74)

CI 99.95 %  = ( 6960232.26 ; 8039767.74)

The new upper bound is  8039767.74

From her eye, which stands 1,61 meters above the ground, Savannah measures the
angle of elevation to the top of a prominent skyscraper to be 24°. If she is standing at
a horizontal distance of 340 meters from the base of the skyscraper, what is the
height of the skyscraper? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter if
necessary

Answers

Answer:

152.99 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the solution diagram attached below :

We can obtain the height, h of skyscraper to the position of her eye level using trigonometry ;

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 24 = h / 340

h = tan 24 * 340

h = 151.37775

Hence, the height will be (h + distance from eyelevel to ground)

151.37775 + 1.61

= 152.98775

= 152.99 m

Two dice are thrown together. Use a tree diagram to find the probability that both numbers are less than 5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 dice = 12 numbers

1, 2, 3, 4 and 1, 2, 3, 4 are less than five.

This is a total of 8 numbers.

[tex]\frac{8}{12} =\frac{8/4}{12/4}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The probability that both numbers are less than 5 on throwing 2 dices is given by P ( A ) = 4/9 = 44.44 %

What is Probability?

The probability that an event will occur is measured by the ratio of favorable examples to the total number of situations possible

Probability = number of desirable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes

The value of probability lies between 0 and 1

Given data ,

Let the probability that both numbers are less than 5 on throwing 2 dices be represented as P ( A )

Now , the total number of outcomes for throwing 2 dices = 36 outcomes

And , out of these 36 possible outcomes, there are 16 outcomes where both numbers are less than 5

{(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3),

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3),

(1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (4,4)}

So , the number of possible outcomes = 16

And , probability P ( A ) = 16/36

P ( A ) = 4/9

Hence , the probability is 4/9

First we find out the area of circle, and then subtract the area of triangle from it to find the area of the shaded region

Area of Circle

Here, r=radius

area of circle= π×r²

                     = π × 5²     (radius=half of diameter)

                     = 25π

                     = 78.54cm²

Area of Triangle

Here, b=base, h=height

area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2\\}[/tex]×b×h

                          = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×8×6

                          = 24cm²

Area of shaded region= area of circle - area of triangle

                                     = 78.54 - 24

                                     = 54.54

A public health organization reports that 30% of baby boys 6 - 8 months old in the United States weigh more than 20 pounds. A sample of 15 babies is studied. Round the answers to three decimal places. Part 1 of 4 (a) What is the probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds

Answers

Answer:

0.206 = 20.6% probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each baby, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they weigh more than 20 pounds, or they do not. The probability of a baby weighing more than 20 pounds is independent of any other baby, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A public health organization reports that 30% of baby boys 6 - 8 months old in the United States weigh more than 20 pounds.

This means that [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]

A sample of 15 babies is studied.

This means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]

What is the probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds

This is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.206[/tex]

0.206 = 20.6% probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say;

=> 2,165 + unknown number + 1,678 = 6,414

So let's add like terms first;

=> 3,843 + unknown number = 6,414

=> unknown number = 6,414 - 3,843

=> unknown number = 2571

Hope this helps!

Answer:
