You purchase a brand new car for $10500 and insure it. The policy pays 80% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 27% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.008, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.017. 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. X P(X) b. Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ 0

A company offers guided tours of remote areas of the world. Each tour consists of 20 people. The probability of selling a ticket for any given spot on the tour is 0.86. The costs to the company are approximately the same regardless of the number of people that show up. To offset the risk associated with a tour not filling up, the company purchases a specialized insurance policy. The policy pays 100 for each ticket that is left unsold, up to a maximum of 400. Let P be the amount that the insurance policy pays to the company for a specific tour. Calculate E[P] to the nearest dollar. O 251 O244 O 259 O 267 275
