Let X be the damage incurred (in $) in a certain type of accident during a given year. Possible X values are 0, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000, with probabilities 0.84, 0.09, 0.05, and 0.02, respectively. A particular company offers a $500 deductible policy. If the company wishes its expected profit to be $100, what premium amount should it charge (in dollars)

$560

Explanation:

Calculation for what premium amount should it charge

Using this formula to calculate the premium amount

E(Y)=yxP(y)

Let X variable represent the damage that occured because of accident in the year provided

Based on the information given since the amount deductible is $500 while the expected premium charge is $100 then let defined the premium function as,

For X=0

Hence,

Y=X+$100

For X=1,000, 5,000, and 10,000

Y=X-$500+$100

Y=$400

Let the table below represents probability distribution of y

X= 0, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000

Y= 100 600 4,600 9,600

P(y)=0.84, 0.09, 0.05, 0.02,

(1000-400=600)

(5000-400=4,600)

(10,000-400=9,600)

Now let calculate the PREMIUM AMOUNT to be charge Using this formula

E(Y)=yxP(y)

Let plug in the formula

E(Y)=(100 × 0.84)+( 600 × 0.09) + (4,600 × 0.05) +( 9,600 × 0.02)

E(Y)=84+54+230+192

E(Y)=$560

Therefore the premium amount that it should it charge (in dollars) is $560

the effect is that geography has alot to do with how level the ground is and how structurally safe it is. it can also show like cracks in the ground and if mountains are safe to be by. hope this
