Answer: S.D = +/- 0.003

The standard deviation of the fraction of policies which result in a claim is +/- 0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Probability of making a claim p = 0.1

Number of company policies n = 10000

Standard deviation is the measure of how spread out numbers are.

S.D = √(p(1-p)/n)

Where,

p = 0.1

n = 10000

S.D = √(0.1(1-0.1)/10000)

S.D = √(0.1×0.9/10000)

S.D = √(0.000009)

S.D = +/- 0.003

Answer:

0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each of the policy have the same chance of success, then it follows a binomial distribution (only two outcome; success or failure).

α = √(p(1-p)/n) = √ (0.1 ( 1-0.1)/ 10000) = √ 0.000009 = 0.003

where p = 0.1, α = standard deviation.

klemol [59]
Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by 2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by 10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t1-t2= 3.6
x= 3.6+ t1+ t2
x= 3.6+ 2.1+ 10
x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

Pens cost 15 pence each.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The amount the school pays is £32.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each pen = 15 pence

The cost of each ruler = 20 pence

The number of pens bought by the school = 150

The number of rulers bought by the school = 90

The cost reduction (discount) on the items bought = 1/5

Therefore, we have;

The total cost of the pens bought by the school = 150 × 15 = 2250 = £22.50

The total cost of the rulers bought by the school = 90 × 20 = 1800 = £18.00

The total cost of the writing materials (rulers and pens) bought by the school = £22.50 + £18.00 = £40.50

The discount = 1/5 total cost reduction = 1/5×£40.50  = $8.10

The amount the school pays = The total cost of the writing materials - The discount

The amount the school pays = £40.50 - $8.10 =  £32.40

The amount the school pays =  £32.40.

professor190 [17]
If there are no notebooks purchased, then Eula may buy 5 binders. If no binders are bought, then Eula may buy 10 notebooks. If 7 notebooks are purchased, then one binder may be purchased; this will also cause Eula to have $2 extra (maybe for tax).
