4.2.6. A newly formed life insurance company has under- written term policies on 120 women between the ages of forty and forty-four. Suppose that each woman has a 1/150 probability of dying during the next calendar year, and that each death requires the company to pay out $50,000 in benefits. Approximate the probability that the company will have to pay at least $150,000 in benefits next year.​

0.047

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below:

P(dying) = 1 ÷ 150

So,

P(living) = 149 ÷ 150

As There are 120 women.

Now

P(x>=3) = 1 - [P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2)]

= 1 -[(120 = 0)((1 ÷ 150)^0)((149 ÷ 150)^120) + (120 = 1)((1 ÷ 150)^1)((149 ÷ 150)^119) + (120 = 2)((1 ÷ 150)^2)((149 ÷150)^118)]

P(x>=3)

=0.047

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2
