Let X be the random variable representing the claim amount for flooding damage from house insurance policies of bungalow type houses. Past claims show evidence that X is a normally distributed random variable with an average claim amount of μ = 21000 euro and a standard deviation of σ = 2000 euro, i.e. X~Normal( 21000 , 2000 2). a) Find the z-scores relating to the following claim amounts;    i) 25888 :   z = (2 dec places)    ii) 24779 :   z = (2 dec places)    iii) 18496 :   z = (2 dec places)    iv) 23837 :   z = (2 dec places) b) Find the probability that for a randomly selected claim, the claim amount will be for less than 25888 euro. (4 dec places)

Question
  1. Let X be the random variable representing the claim amount for flooding damage from house insurance policies of bungalow type houses. Past claims show evidence that X is a normally distributed random variable with an average claim amount of μ = 21000 euro and a standard deviation of σ = 2000 euro, i.e. X~Normal( 21000 , 2000 2).

    a) Find the z-scores relating to the following claim amounts;
       i) 25888 :   z = (2 dec places)
       ii) 24779 :   z = (2 dec places)
       iii) 18496 :   z = (2 dec places)
       iv) 23837 :   z = (2 dec places)
    b) Find the probability that for a randomly selected claim, the claim amount will be for less than 25888 euro. (4 dec places)
    c) Find the probability that for a randomly selected claim, the claim amount will be for more than 24779 euro. (4 dec places)
    d) Find the probability that for a randomly selected claim, the claim amount will be for between 18496 euro and 23837 euro. (4 dec places)
    e) An insurance company notes that for 2.5% of claims the claim amount is above K euro, calculate K. (0 dec places)
