A life insurance salesman operates on the premise that the probability that a man reaching his sixtiethbirthday will not live to his sixty-first birthday is 0.05. On visiting a holiday resort for seniors, he sells 10policies to men approaching their sixtieth birthdays. Each policy comes into effect on the birthday of theinsured, and pays a fixed sum on death. All 10 policies can be assumed to be mutually independent. Provideanswers to the following to 3 decimal places.Part a)What is the expected number of policies that will pay out before the insured parties have reached age 61?0.5Part b)What is the variance of the number of policies that will pay out before the insured parties have reached age61?0.475Part c)What is the probability that at least two policies will pay out before the insured parties have reached age 61?
