An insurance company offers its policyholders a number of different payment options. For a randomly selected policyholder, let X = the number of months between successive payments. The CDF of X is as follows: F (x) = 0, if xr <0. F (x) = 0.3, if 0 6 Using just the CDF, compute P (3 < X < 6)

A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X = demand for the magazine, with pmf x 1 2 3 4 5 6 p(x) 1/5 2/15 3/15 4/15 3/15 2/15 Suppose the store owner actually pays $2.00 for each copy of the magazine and the price to customers is $4.00.If magazines left at the end of the week have no salvage value, is it better to order three or four copies of the magazine? [Hint: For both three and four copies ordered, express net revenue as a function of demand X, and then compute the expected revenue.]
John is a manager at a small English Bakery that sells gooseberry pies. Currently, each of his three employees, agent 1, agent 2 and agent 3, work independently on full commission. Assume to begin with that individual effort is observable, and that total output is given by Q = 10(E1 + E2 + E2). Agents are paid a salary of a + Qi (where Q1 = 10 E1 = output from agent 1; Q2 = 10E2 = output from agent 2 = 10E2 and so on). Each agent has an alternative utility level of 10 units, and the cost of effort C(E) = E2. Answer the following questions.a) Given this compensation scheme, what is the (privately) optimal amount of effort for agent 1?b) How many pies does she make?c) What must the fixed portion of agent 1’s income (a) be for her utility on this job to exactly equal 10?d) What is agent 1’s total income in the above situation?e) Check to see that agent 1’s utility level is in fact 10 when she gets this total income and chooses her effort optimally.f) What is the profit for the firm that…

Use table D, the Standard Ultimate Survival Model with i=5%. Consider a 25-year term insurance isued to a life aged 35 with annual premiums payable throught the policy term, with sum insured $100,000 payable at the end of the year of death if death occurs during the term. Expenses are as follows: 10% of the 1st annual premium and 2% of each subsequent premium, with an inception expense of $100 and renewal expenses of (at the time of the payment of the 2nd and each subsequent premium) of $15. Calculate the annual premium (using the equivalence principle).
The government is attempting to determine whetherimmigrants should be tested for a contagious disease. Let’sassume that the decision will be made on a financial basis.Assume that each immigrant who is allowed into the countryand has the disease costs the United States $100,000, andeach immigrant who enters and does not have the diseasewill contribute $10,000 to the national economy. Assumethat 10% of all potential immigrants have the disease. Thegovernment may admit all immigrants, admit no immigrants,or test immigrants for the disease before determiningwhether they should be admitted. It costs $100 to test aperson for the disease; the test result is either positive ornegative. If the test result is positive, the person definitelyhas the disease. However, 20% of all people who do havethe disease test negative. A person who does not have thedisease always tests negative. The government’s goal is tomaximize (per potential immigrant) expected benefits minusexpected costs. Use a decision…

in a certain city, 60% of the heads of household own the house in which they reside, and 80% of the heads of the household have full-time employment when considering what percentage of heads of household both own their home and have a full-time job, a student estimates that 48% of heads of household fit both requirements, stating that (0.60) (0.80)=0.48. is this student correct in his approach?
Suppose a company charges a premium of $150 per year for an insurance policy for storm damage to roofs. Actuarial studies show that in case of a storm, the insurance company will pay out an average of $8000 for damage to a composition shingle roof and an average of $12,000 for damage to a shake roof. They also determine that out of every 10,000 policies, there are 7 claims per year made on composition shingle roofs and 11 claims per year made on shake roofs. What is the company’s expected value (i.e., expected profit) per year of a storm insurance policy? What annual profit can the company expect if it issues 1000 such policies? Determine the probability of a composition shingle roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ Determine the probability of a shake roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ How many claims are made out of 10,000? = _______ What is the probability of no claims out of 10,000? = _______ How much does each shingle roof claim cost the company, don’t forget each person pays $150…
