Suppose that in a small village about 40% of the residents are of Hawaiian ancestry. Let n = 1, 2, 3,… represent the number of people you must meet until you encounter the first person of Hawaiian ancestry in the village. Use the formula for geometric probability distribution. Compute the probability for n = 1. Round your answer to the nearest ten thousandth.

Jim has a 5-year-old car in reasonably good condition. He wants to take out a $50,000 term (that is, accident benefit) car insurance policy until the car is 10 years old. Assume that the probability of a car having an accident in the year in which it is x years old is as follows: x = age 5 6 7 8 9 P(accident) 0.01182 0.01282 0.01386 0.01513 0.01602 Jim is applying to a car insurance company for his car insurance policy. Using the probabilities that the car will have an accident in its 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th year, and the $50,000 accident benefit, what is the expected loss to Car Insurance Company for the respective years? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
