- An insurance agency services many customers who have purchased both a homeowner’s policy and a car policy from the agency. For each type of policy, a deductible amount must be specified. For a car policy, the choices are $0, $50, and $100, and 25%, 25%, and 50% of customers have these deductibles respectively. It means P(X=$0) = 0.25, etc. For a homeowner’s policy, the choices are 0, $200, and $500 and 30%, 30%, and 40% of customers have these deductibles respectively. It means P(Y=$0) = 0.3, etc. Suppose an individual with both types of policy is selected at random from the agency’s files. Let X = the deductible amount on the car policy and Y = the deductible amount on the homeowner’s policy. Assume X and Y are independent. a. Find the joint probability mass function of X and Y (write it as a table). b. Find median car insurance policy deductible. c. Find average homeowner’s policy deductible.arrow_forwardCandra wants to buy a specific pair of shoes.

- Tech is playing State in the last conference game of the season. Tech is trailing State 21 to 14 with 7 seconds left in the game, when they score a touchdown. Still trailing 21 to 20, Tech can either go for two points and win or go for one point to send the game into overtime. The conference championship will be determined by the outcome of this game. If Tech wins they will go to the Sugar Bowl, with a payoff of $9.2 million; if they lose they will go to the Gator Bowl, with a payoff of $1.5 million. If Tech goes for two points there is a .30% chance they will be successful and win (and a .70% chance they will fail and lose). If they go for one point there is a 0.98 probability of success and a tie and a 0.02 probability of failure. If they tie they will play overtime, in which Tech believes they have only a 20% chance of winning because of fatigue. a)Use decision-tree analysis to determine if Tech should go for one point or two points.b)What would Tech’s probability of winning the…arrow_forwardPLEASE ANSWER IT NOW, I NEED THE ANSWER .
