Vinton Auto Insurance is trying to decide how much money to keep in liquid assets to cover insurance claims. In the past, the company held some of the premiums it received in interest-bearing checking accounts and put the rest into investments that are not quite as liquid but tend to generate a higher investment return. The company wants to study cash flows to determine how much money it should keep in liquid assets to pay claims. After reviewing historical data, the company determined that the average repair bill per claim is normally distributed with a mean of $1,700 and standard deviation of $400. It also determined that the number of "repair" claims filed each week is a random variable that follows the probability distribution shown in the following table:
Number of Repair Claims | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
Probability | 0.05 | 0.06 | 0.10 | 0.17 | 0.28 | 0.14 | 0.08 | 0.07 | 0.05 |
In addition to "repair" claims, the company also receives claims for cars that have been “totaled” and cannot be repaired. A 20% chance of receiving this type of claim exists in any week. These claims for “totaled” cars typically cost anywhere from $2,000 to $35,000, with $13,000 being the most common cost.
a. What is the average cost the company should expect to pay for the "repair" claims each week? (25 points)
b. Suppose that the company decides to keep $15,000 cash on hand to pay "repair" claims. What is the probability that this amount would not be adequate to cover "repair" claims in any week? (10 points)
c. What is the average cost the company should expect to pay for the "totaled" claims each week? (10 points)
d. Suppose that the company decides to keep $30,000 cash on hand to pay "totaled" claims. What is the probability that this amount would not be adequate to cover "totaled" claims in any week? (5 points)
I been having trouble with this question. Can anyone post the steps of how to solve the question? Is and answer available but I'm having trouble to understand how to establish the model. Thanks.

Case: Enron: Questionable Accounting Leads to CollapseIntroductionOnce upon a time, there was a gleaming office tower in Houston, Texas. In front of that gleaming tower was a giant “E,” slowly revolving, flashing in the hot Texas sun. But in 2001, the Enron Corporation, which once ranked among the top Fortune 500 companies, would collapse under a mountain of debt that had been concealed through a complex scheme of off-balance-sheet partnerships. Forced to declare bankruptcy, the energy firm laid off 4,000...
