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.
The inventor of a new game believes that the variable
cost of producing the game is $1.95 per unit, and the
fixed costs for a month are $8000. He sells the game to
retailers for $5.00 each. Give the net profit or loss if the
inventor makes and sells 150,000 games in a month. IF
LOSS, enter NEGATIVE amount.
