ADVERSE SELECTIONSomet Health Insurance Company wants to sell a health insurance product for $700 permonth. There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them. What will happen to the costs of the health insurance if only the older, sicker peopleenroll?

According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, about 2% of new US car sales are electric vehicles (data from Edison Electric Institute reported by Jinjoo Lee, "Peak Oil? Not This Year. Or This Decade," January 9, 2021 pg. B12). Suppose a company has 111 employees who drive new cars (separately) to work each day. What is the probability that at least one of them will drive an electric car? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism.

ONLY SOLVE D An investor with a total wealth of $100 is faced with the following opportunities. First, he may invest $100 now and receive $144 if there are good times, but receive $64 if there are bad times. The investor estimates that good times happen with 50% probability.He can also buy an investor newsletter whether good times or bad times will occur. (a) Draw the decision tree that illustrates the options available to the investor and the payoffs to the different options. Define P as the price of the newsletter. (b) If the investor is risk-neutral with U(M) = M, where M is income, how much would he be willing to pay for the subscription to the newsletter? (c) If the investor is risk-averse with utility U(M) = M0.5, where M is income, how much would this investor be willing to pay for the subscription to the newsletter? (d) Suppose that the owner of the newsletter estimates that there are 75 risk-averse investors like those of part (c) and 25 investors like those of part(b). If…

Ex 8. An airline's data indicate that 50 percent of people who begin the online process of booking a flight never complete the process and pay for the flight. To reduce this percentage, the airline is considering changing its website so that the entire booking process, including flight and seat selection and payment, can be done on two simple pages rather than the current four pages. A random sample of 300 customers who begin the booking process are exposed to the new system, and 117 of them do not complete the process. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the new system has reduced the noncompletion percentage. b. Use critical values to perform the hypothesis test by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001
