Chapter 4.3 Problem 6E

Question

An insurance company sells both homeowners’ insurance and automobile deductible insurance. Let \(X\) be the deductible on the homeowners’ insurance and \(Y\) the deductible on automobile insurance. Among those who take both types of insurance with this company, we find the following probabilities:

(a) Compute the following probabilities:

\(\begin{aligned}&P(X=500), P(Y=500), P(Y=500 \mid X=500), \\&P(Y=100 \mid X=500) .

\end{aligned}\)

(b) Compute the means \(\mu_{X}, \mu_{Y}\), and the variances \(\sigma_{X}^{2}\), \(\sigma_{Y}^{2}\).

(c) Compute the conditional means \(E(X \mid Y=100)\), \(E(Y \mid X=500)\).

(d) Compute \(\operatorname{Cov}(X, Y)\).

(e) Find the correlation coefficient, \(\rho\).

Solution

Step1 of 6:

Given that X denotes the insurance deductible insurance on the homeowners’ insurance and Y denotes the deductible insurance on automobile insurance. The corresponding probabilities are given.

We have to find the required probabilities using the given probabilities.
