Question Which of the following correctly describes how the width of a confidence interval for a population mean changes when the population standard deviation is known? a) There is no change if just the sample size increases. b) The interval widens if the sample size decreases and confidence level stays the same. c)The interval narrows if the sample size decreases and confidence level stays the same. d) The interval widens if the sample size increases and the confidence level stays the same. e) The interval widens if the sample size stays the same and confidence level decreases.

An insurer issues a 25-year endowment insurance with sum insured $100, 000 to a select life aged 30. The premiums are payable annually throughout the term of the insurance. The insurer incurs initial expenses of $2, 000 plus 50% of the first premium, and the renewal expenses of 2.5% of each subsequent premium. The death benefit is payable immediately on death.Basis:• Mortality: AM92 Select • Rate of interest: 6%a. Write down the expression for the gross future loss random variable at the inception of the contract.b. Calculate the gross premium using the equivalence premium principle.

(1 point) Determine the average rate of change of the following function between the given values of the variable: f(x) = x4 - - X; x = -2, x = 3 Average rate of change = .

Question Suppose three point masses are placed in the xy-plane as follows (assume coordinates are given in meters): mi = 5 kg, placed at (-2, -3) m2 = 3 kg, placed at (2,3) 'm3 = 2 kg, placed at (-3, -2) Find the center of mass of the system. Write your answer as an ordered pair Provide your answer below:

let f(x)= x^2-5, g(x)= 2x^3+x and p(x)= f(x)g(x). a) computedp/dx b) compute f'(x)g'(x)

Suppose that a company is developing a new touch-screen cell phone. Historically, 70% of their new phones have resulted in high consumer demand, whereas 30% have resulted in low consumer demand. The company has the decision of choosing between two models with different features that require different amount of investment and have different sales potential. Estimated profit/loss are shown in the payoff table below. State of Nature High demand, ($) Low demand, ($) Model 1 300,000 -40,000 Model 2 275,000 -15000 Now suppose the firm conducts a market research study to obtain sample information and better understand the nature of consumer demand. The market research cost $10,000 Analysis of past market research studies, conducted prior to introducing similar products, has found that the survey response will be either high or low. There is a 69% chance that the survey will return a high survey response (results) and there is a 31% chance that the survey will result in lo-demand response (results). The relevant conditional probabilities are as follows: P (high consumer demand, high survey response = 0.913) P (low consumer demand, low survey response = 0.087) P (high consumer demand, high survey response = 0.226) P (low consumer demand, low survey response = 0.774) Calculate the expected value of sample information (EVSI).
