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
Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purchased at the store previously. She can’t recall the brand name and does not wish to return home to find the old can of paint. So, she selects two of the three brands of paint at random and buys them. What is the probability that she matched the paint brand? Her husband also goes to the paint store and fails to remember what brand to buy. So, he also purchases two of the three brands of paint at random. Determine the probability that both the woman and her husband fail to get the correct brand of paint. (Hint: Are the husband’s selections independent of the wife’s selections?)
