Estimation of True Mean with 98 Percent Confidence
Question
Insurance companies track life expectancy information to assist in determining the cost of life insurance policies. Last year the average life expectancy of all policy holders that were paid out was 77 years. ABI Insurance wants to determine of their clients now have a longer life expectancy on average, so they randomly sample 101 of their recently paid policies. The insurance company will only change their premium structure if there is evidence that people who buy their policies are living longer than before. The sample has a mean of 78.6 years and a standard deviation of 4.48 years. Use a 1% significance level to answer the following.
- Construct a 95% confidence interval for what the true mean life expectancy is located. Round your final answer to the nearest 0.1 years.
- If the company wants to estimate the true mean to within 1 year with 98% confidence, what sample size should they take? Round your answer to the nearest person. Was their original sample of 101 sufficient to meet their desired margin of error?
Summary
This question belongs to statistics and discusses about insurance companies tracking life expectancy information to assist in determining the cost of life insurance policies.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
While pursuing my biotechnology course I stumbled on to the calculations and conceptualization of a DNA map assignment in genetics. I was unsure on how to go about it and was looking for help, online. I came across this site as they claimed to have a separate department for genetics assignment solutions. The experts here are really cool as they helped me understand and also helped me with the solution. Throughout my course I took help from them and I am really grateful.

Automata were definitely my problem area as far as computer science and programming assignments are concerned. However, after consulting the experts here everything was sorted out and my grades also improved. I will definitely thank the wonderful team of HwA to help me out during my crunch time.

1. I was really interested in financial statement analysis but definitely stumbled on the calculations needed for ratio analysis assignments. I must admit that without HwA, I would have lost myself in the maze of everything. They not only helped me out with the ratio analysis assignments but restored my confidence by teaching me the basics.

1. As my parents are both cost accountants, I thought that accounting is my blood. However, everything is not that easy as I often failed to match my trial balance and was finding it problematic to write my cash-flow statements. I knew I need assistance apart from the help that I get from my accounting professor. So when I saw TheReliableTutor.com, I was happy as they helped me solve my accounting homework. I even got good grades now.

Finance had me completely lost and I had no idea how I was to do research for the fixed income derivatives assignment. I needed to include examples and references and I had frankly no idea how I was going to do any of it. Thanks to the online finance assignment help expert at HwA I was able to get the assignment ready with all the necessary examples and get the top grades.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
