A particular "homogeneous" travel accident insurance portfolio consists of 5,000 policies issued for a period of one year. The probability that a randomly chosen insured will require the reimbursement of her/his losses is 3%, and if a loss event has occurred, then the amount of the loss is a uniform r.v. § ranging from $0 to $5,000. Amounts of the payoffs for different policies are independent. Finish the following Questions: 1-8. Numerical answers below may be rounded. Advices: 1) It make sense to set $100 as a unit of money and recalculate the answer at the very end of calculations. (b-a) ² 12 2) Recollect that for a distribution uniform on [a,b], the mean is and the variance is a+b 2 2 3) When calculating, do it accurately (certainly you can use calculators); just in case, double check.
here is a 0.9988 probability that a randomly selected 28-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charges $176 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the year, the policy pays out $80,000 as a death benefit. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. From the perspective of the 28-year-old male, what are the monetary values corresponding to the two events of surviving the year and not surviving? b. If the 28-year-old male purchases the policy, what is his expected value? c. Can the insurance company expect to make a profit from many such policies? Why?

The Business School at State University currently has three parking lots, each containing 155 spaces. Two hundred faculty members have been assigned to each lot. On a peak day, an average of 70% of all lot 1 parking sticker holders show up, an average of 72% of all lot 2 parking sticker holders show up, and an average of 74% of all lot 3 parking sticker holders show up. a. Given the current situation, estimate the probability that on a peak day, at least one faculty member with a sticker will be unable to find a spot. Assume that the number who show up at each lot is independent of the number who show up at the other two lots. Compare two situations: (1) each person can park only in the lot assigned to him or her, and (2) each person can park in any of the lots (pooling). (Hint: Use the RISKBINOMIAL function.) If needed, round your answer to a whole percentage and if your answer is zero, enter "0". No pooling: Pooling: 51.4 % 83.8 % b. Now suppose the numbers of people who show up at…
