Answer:

The role math plays in the insurance industry is:

Insurance companies use statistics to find how likely a client will need to use the insurance so they can set premiums in order to have the highest chance of making a profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two reasons back this answer, first of all the insurance companies study the complete profile of the applicant to understand what will be the probability of the insurance usage as well as the most common way it will be used to charge the premiums at the best probability their model suggest. Consider a teacher who works in a school relatively close to his house and doesn't practice any high-risk activity. He is going to likely have a small premium while a snowboarding pro will have a very expensive premium.

8% of the employees at a shop work part time. If there are 4 part time employees at the shop, how many employees are there in to

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

50 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion which would be

4/x = 8/100

This shows 4 out of x people is the same as 8% of 100.

We divide 100 by 8, and then multiply by 4 to get 50.

We can check this by plugging 50 into the proportion.

4/50 = 0.08

8/100= 0.08

There are 50 total employees at the shop.

The average of your first 6 tests is 82. If your test average after your seventh test is an 80.5, what did you score on the seve

mart [117]

So average is of the first 6 tests is 82 well that means

(test1 + test2+ test3+ test4 + test5+test6)/6 = 82

so now let do some cross multiplliying

test1 + test2 + test3 + test 4 + test5 +test6 = 82*6

test1 + test2 + test3 + test 4 + test5 +test6 = 492

now lets see if we can find that 7th test score

(test1 + test2 + test3 + test4 + test5 +test6 + test7)/7 = 80.5

So look we found test1 + test2 + test3 + test4 + test5 +test6 to be 492 so lets substitute.

(492 + test7 )/7 = 80.5

test7 = (80.5*7)-492 = 71.5
