An auto insurance company has 32,000 clients, and 5% of their clients submitted a claim in the past year. We will take a sample 3,200 clients, and determine how many of them have submitted a claim in the past year.
a) What is the sampling distribution for the sample proportion?
b) Increased road accidents have caused an increase in these claims. What is the probability that the proportion of claims in the sample is more than 9%?

4. Insurance companies charge clients under 25 more for auto insurance than clients over 25. They claim this is because clients under 25 have more accidents. A random sample of 40 drivers under 25 had a mean of 1.2 accidents per year with a standard deviation of .1. A sample of 40 drivers over 25 had a mean of .94 accidents per year with a standard deviation of .2. From this data can we conclude the Insurance companies are correct...

The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.9 auto accidents per day with a variance of 0.0025. The actuaries of the company claim that the variance of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.0025. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis...

A company makes auto batteries. They claim that 81% of their LL70 batteries are good for 70 months or longer. Assume that this claim is true. Let p be the proportion in a random sample of 70 such batteries that are good for 70 months or more. a. What is the probability that this sample proportion is within 0.02 of the population proportion? Round your answer to two decimal places b. What is the probability that this...

AICUS (Auto Insurance Company of the United States) paid out $62,750,000 in car insurance claims last year. During that year, the company had 100,000 clients and charged each client $600 for insurance. Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, five hundred of its clients did not get into any accidents. We will call this the low-risk group. Two-hundred-and-fifty clients had minor accidents that cost $1,000 each. Call this the moderate-risk group. An additional 250 clients had major accidents involving lawsuits that cost...
