Once a fire is reported to a fire insurance company, the company makes an initial estimate, [math]X[/math], of the amount it will pay to the claimant for the fire loss. When the claim is finally settled, the company pays an amount, [math]Y[/math], to the claimant. The company has determined that [math]X[/math] and [math]Y[/math] have the joint density function
Given that the initial claim estimated by the company is 2, calculate the probability that the final settlement amount is between 1 and 3.

An actuary determines that the annual number of tornadoes in counties P and Q are jointly distributed as follows:
| Q= 0 | Q=1 | Q=2 | Q=3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P=0 | 0.12 | 0.06 | 0.05 | 0.02 |
| P=1 | 0.13 | 0.15 | 0.12 | 0.03 |
| P=2 | 0.05 | 0.15 | 0.10 | 0.02 |
Calculate the conditional variance of the annual number of tornadoes in county Q, given that there are no tornadoes in county P.

A company offers a basic life insurance policy to its employees, as well as a supplemental life insurance policy. To purchase the supplemental policy, an employee must first purchase the basic policy. Let [math]X[/math] denote the proportion of employees who purchase the basic policy, and [math]Y[/math] the proportion of employees who purchase the supplemental policy. Let [math]X[/math] and [math]Y[/math] have the joint density function [math]f(x,y) = 2(x+y)[/math] on the region where the density is positive.
Given that 10% of the employees buy the basic policy, calculate the probability that fewer than 5% buy the supplemental policy.
