Assume that there is a 4% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on three independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? a. With two hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. With three hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is (Round to six decimal places as needed.)
A company prices its tornado insurance using the following assumptions:• In any calendar year, there can be at most one tornado.• In any calendar year, the probability of a tornado is 0.08.• The number of tornadoes in any calendar year is independent of the number of tornados in any other calendar year.Using the company's assumptions, calculate the probability that there are fewer than 4 tornadoes in a 22-year period.

What is the probability that in a random sample of 150 customers 7 will be late on their payments? b. What is the probability that in a random sample of 150 customers at least 10 will be late on their payments?
4. FILE Daniel-James Insurance Company will insure an offshore ExxonMobil oil pro- duction platform against weather losses for 1 year. The president of Daniel-James estimates the following losses for that platform (in millions of dollars) with the accompa- nying probabilities: Amount of Loss ($ millions) 0 40 300 Probability of Loss .98 .016 .004 a.

Suppose that in England 37% of house purchases fall through and, of those house purchases that fall through, 19% involve buyers who are first-time buyers. Further suppose that overall 23% of all buyers are first time buyers. Use this information to calculate the probability that a first-time buyer's house purchase falls through.
XYZ Insurer has economic capital of $150,00. It has just collected $450,000 in premiums and projects total loss obligations (liabilities) according to the following table.

The television show Ghost Whistler has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 18, meaning that among the TV sets in use, 18% were tuned to Ghost Whistler. Assume that an advertiser wants to verify that 18% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 14 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Ghost Whistler broadcast.Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Ghost Whistler.P(none) = Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler.P(at least one) = Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler.P(at most one) = If at most one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler, does it appear that the 18% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Ghost Whistler unusual?)
A company prices its tornado insurance using the following assumptions:• In any calendar year, there can be at most one tornado.• In any calendar year, the probability of a tornado is 0.08.• The number of tornadoes in any calendar year is independent of the number of tornados in any other calendar year.Using the company's assumptions, calculate the probability that there are fewer than 4 tornadoes in a 21-year period.
Twenty percent of U.S. mortgages are “underwater” (The Boston Globe, March 5, 2009). A mortgage is considered underwater if the value of the home is less than what is owed on the mortgage. Suppose 100 mortgage holders are randomly selected. What is the probability that more than 20 of the mortgages are underwater? (Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)
Assume that there is a 8% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on four independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? a. With two hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is 0.9936. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. With four hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is ☐ (Round to six decimal places as needed.)
10. A bank classifies borrowers as high risk or low risk. Only 15% of its loans are made to those in the high-risk category. Of all its loans, 5% are in default, and 40% of those in default were made to high-risk borrowers. What is the probability that a high-risk borrower will default?
6. An actuary studying the insurance preferences of automobile owners makes the following conclusions: (i) An automobile owner is twice as likely to purchase collision coverage as disability coverage. (ii) The event that an automobile owner purchases collision coverage is independent of the event that he or she purchases disability coverage. (iii) The probability that an automobile owner purchases both collision and disability coverages is 0.15. (a)Calculate the probability that an automobile owner purchases neither collision nor disability coverage. (b) Calculate the probability that an automobile owner purchases only collision coverage.
