Explanation Given: When a thumbtack is dropped, it will land point up ( ⊥ ) or point down ( λ ) . This experiment was repeated 80 times with results: point up: 56 times; point down: 24 times. Calculation: A thumbtack is dropped 80 times. So, total number of experiment = 80 It land point up with 56 times and point down with 24 times. Number of times it land point up = 56 Total number of experiment = 80 To determine (b) The probability that thumbtack land down. To determine (c) The result if this experiment is again repeated 80 times. To determine (d) The result in second trial.

(a) Calculate the reserve at the end of 2022 using the basic chain ladder method. (b) Calculate the reserve at the end of 2022 using the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method. 2. Comment on the differences in the reserves produced by the methods in Part 1.

A population that is uniformly distributed between a=0and b=10 is given in sample sizes 50( ), 100( ), 250( ), and 500( ). Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviations for the given data. Compare your results to the average of means for a sample of size 10, and use the empirical rules to analyze the sampling error. For each sample, also find the standard error of the mean using formula given below. Standard Error of the Mean =sigma/Root Complete the following table with the results from the sampling experiment. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Sample Size Average of 8 Sample Means Standard Deviation of 8 Sample Means Standard Error 50 100 250 500

survey of 5050 young professionals found that they spent an average of $20.5620.56 when dining out, with a standard deviation of $11.4111.41. Can you conclude statistically that the population mean is greater than $2323? Use a 95% confidence interval.
