When the health department tested private wells in a county for two impurities commonly found in drinking water, it found that 10% of the wells had neither impurity, 90% had impurity A, and 20% had impurity B. (Obviously, some had both impurities.) If a well is randomly chosen from those in the county, find the probability distribution for Y, the number of impurities found in the well. P(no impurities)= P(exactly one impurity)= P(both impurities)=

4. A large insurance company indicates that 78% of the policy holders have at least one health issues and 22% do not health issues. Let Y1 be a random variable defined as Yı = 0, if the policy holder does not have any health issues; Yı = 1, if the if the policy holder have health issues. Write the probability distribution of Y1, E(Y1) and Var(Y1).
Nicole has purchased the life insurance policy for her fish for the price of $200 per year and Nicole will receive $4000 in case if her fish passes away. The insurance company estimated the probability of her fish passing away during the length of the policy to be 0.5%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) fish passes away fish survives 2.
