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?

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

Bob, the proprietor of Midway Lumber, bases his projections for the annual revenues of the company on the performance of the housing market. He rates the performance of the market as very strong, strong, normal, weak, or very weak. For the next year, Bob estimates that the probabilities for these outcomes are 0.15, 0.25, 0.39, 0.09, and 0.12, respectively. He also thinks that the revenues corresponding to these outcomes are $23, $18.6, $16.9, $14, and $6 million, respectively. What is Bob's expected revenue for next year?
Suppose an oil company is thinking of buying some land for $10,000,000. There is a 60%60% chance of economic growth and a 40%40% chance of recession. The probability of discovering oil is 44%44% when there is economic growth and 32%32% when there is a recession. If there is economic growth and the oil company discovers oil, the value of the land will triple. If they do not discover oil, the value of the land will decrease by 10%.10%. If there is a recession and the company discovers oil, the value of the land will increase by 50%.50%. If they do not discover oil, the land will decrease in value by 75%.75%. What is the expected value of the investment? Give your answer to the nearest dollar. Avoid rounding within calculations. $$ Select the correct interpretation of the expected value. The expected value represents what the actual investment value will be for this land purchase of $10,000,000. The company should make the investment because the expected value…

Suppose a neighborhood grocery store buys 5 containers of skim milk at the wholesale price of $11 per container and sells it for $22 per container. After the expiration date, unsold milk is removed from the shelves and the grocer receives a credit from the distributor equal to three-fourths of the wholesale price.

Each day, John's mother gives him money before he goes to school: 50% of the time he gets $5, 35% of the time he gets $10 and the rest of the time he gets $20. Determine the expectation and variance for how much money John gets each day. For the next 100 school days, John plans to save all the money his mother gives him. What is the approximate probability he is able to save more than $1000? Assume independence. If he realizes he has to spend an average of $4 a day with a standard deviation of $0.75, what is the approximate probability that he saves less than $400? Assume independence.
