BUSINESS DECISION: INSURING THE FLEET
The Flamingo Cab Company of Cougar Creek is interested in purchasing $250 deductible collision insurance and full-coverage comprehensive insurance to cover its fleet of 10 taxicabs. As a requirement for the job. all drivers already carry their own liability coverage in the amount of 100/300/100. Cougar Creek is rated as territory 2. Five of the cabs are 4-year-old Checker Towncars. model class Y. Three of them are 2-year-old Chrysler station wagons, model class R. The remaining two are new Buick sedans, model class C. Because the vehicles are on the road almost 24 hours a day. they are considered to be very high risk and carry a rating factor of 5.2. They are, however, subject to an
a. As the insurance agent for Flamingo Cabs, calculate the total annual premium for the fleet.
b. When the owner saw your rate quote, he exclaimed. ‘Too expensive! How can I save some money on this insurance?" At that point, you suggested changing the coverage to $500 deductible collision and $ 100 deductible comprehensive. How much can you save Flamingo by using the new coverage?

- A quality characteristic of a product is normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ = 1. Speci- fications on the characteristic are 6≤x≤8. A unit that falls within specifications on this quality characteristic results in a profit of Co. However, if x 8, the profit is -C2. Find the value ofμ that maximizes the expected profit.arrow_forwardA) The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively, what is the probability that a power supply selected at random conform to the specifications on voltage? B) Continuation of A. Reconsider the power supply manufacturing process in A. Suppose We wanted to improve the process. Can shifting the mean reduce the number of nonconforming units produced? How much would the process variability need to be reduced in order to have all but one out of 1000 units conform to the specifications?arrow_forwardA mechatronic assembly is subjected to a final functional test. Suppose that defects occur at random in these assemblies, and that defects occur according to a Poisson distribution with parameter >= 0.02. (a) What is the probability that an assembly will have exactly one defect? (b) What is the probability that an assembly will have one or more defects? (c) Suppose that you improve the process so that the occurrence rate of defects is cut in half to λ = 0.01. What effect does this have on the probability that an assembly will have one or more defects?arrow_forward
