A regional automobile dealership sent out fliers to perspective customers indicating that they had already won one of the three different prizes: automobile valued at $25,000, a $100 gas card, or a $5 Walmart shopping card. To claim his or her prize, a prospective customer needed to present the flier at the dealership’s showroom. The fine print on the back of the flier listed the probabilities of winning. The chance of winning the car was 1 out of 31,748, the chance of winning the gas card was 1 out of 31,748, and the chance of winning the shopping card was 31,746 out of 31,748.How many fliers the automobile dealership sent out? Please explain. Using your answer to above and the probabilities listed on the flyer, what is the expected value ofthe price won by a prospective customer receiving a flyer? Demonstrate all necessary steps. Using your answer to the first question and the probabilities listed on the flyer what is the standarddeviation of the value of the price one by the…

- Find mean if n is 2 and p is 0.7arrow_forwardYour employer, an insurance company, would like to offer theft insurance for renters. The policy would pay the full replacement value of any items that were stolen from the apartment. Some apartments have security alarms installed. Such systems detect a break-in and ring an alarm within the apartment. The insurance company estimates that the probability of a theft in a year is .05 if there is no security system and .01 if there is a security system (there cannot be more than one theft in any year). An apartment with a security system costs the renter an additional $50 per year. Assume that: the dollar loss from a theft is $10,000, the insurance company is risk neutral, and the renter would be willing to pay more than the expected loss to insure against the loss of theft. What is the insurance company's break-even price for a one-year theft insurance policy for an apartment without a security system?
