An insurance company provides customers with both auto and home insurance policies. For a particular customer, Χ is the deduction on his or her auto policy and Y is the deduction on the home policy. Possible values of Χ are K100 and K250, and for Y are K0, K100 and K200. The joint probability density function for (Χ,Y ) is given by the following table: X Y K100 K250 K0 0.20 0.05 K100 0.10 0.15 K200 0.20 0.30

Find the probability that a randomly selected policy holder has a home deduction of at least K100. Are the random variables Χ and Y independent? Explain your answer. If we look only at those insurance customers selecting the lowest auto mobile insurance deduction (K100), what is the probability that a randomly selected…

Let the random variable Y denote the time (in minutes) for which a customer is waiting for the beginning of a service station since its arrival and let X denote the time (minutes) until the service is completed since its arrival at the service station. Since both X and Y measure the time since the arrival of the customer at the service station, always Y<X is true.
