Expected value = E(x) = x1P1+x2P2+ ... + xnPn Where x = the outcome and P = probability of outcome Dr. Kimball likes to go fishing with his son. To motivate his son, he pays him for the first fish that he catches. There are two types of edible fish that his son can catch: Trout and Salmon. If he catches a Trout he pays him $5, if he catches Salmon $3. There is a 20% chance that he will catch a trout and 50% that he will catch a Salmon.

Charlie buys a one-year term home insurance policy for $p, that will pay $200,000 in the event of a major catastrophe and $35,000 in the event of a minor catastrophe. Charlie's home has a 0.2% chance of a major catastrophe and a 0.7% of a minor catastrophe during the one year term. What did the insurance company charge Charlie for this policy if the company expected to break even?
Please see the pictures below. I need help with both questions please and thank you.
A probability distribution gives the possible values of the random variable and the probabilities of each random variable. Probabilities have to be between 0 and 1. The sum of all the probabilities has to be 1. Additionally, the different values for the random variable are disjoint possibilities. In other words P(Xa and X - b) = 0 if a and b are different outcomes. Fill in the missing value for the probability distribution. P(X) 0.151 X 3 4 5 What is P(X-6)? 0.04 0.026 ?
You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent
