    The employees of a service company receive health insurance through a group plan issued by an insurance company. During the past year, 40 percent of the employees did not file any health insurance claims, 40 percent filed only a small claim, and 20 percent filed a large claim. The small claims were spread uniformly between 0 and $2,000, whereas the large claims were spread uniformly between $2,000 and $20,000. Based on this experience, the service company is now negotiating its premium payment per employee for the upcoming year. You have been assigned the task of estimating the average cost of insurance coverage for the company employees. Based on the random numbers 0.4071, 0.5228, 0.8185, 0.5802, and 0.0193 to simulate whether each of five employees files no claim, a small claim, or a large claim, and random numbers 0.9823, 0.0188, 0.8771, 0.9872, and 0.4129 to simulate the size of the claim (including zero if no claim was filed), what is the average of these claims?$9,356$5,973$4,353$2,874

    Samsung conducted a survey of a panel of 600 consumers and mailed them a $20 coupon for a Samsung phone. Based on the survey, Samsung determined whether each consumer currently owned a Samsung phone or not, and whether they redeemed the coupon they had received. This yielded the tabulation on the attached sheet found below. Answer this question: was the coupon more likely to attract Samsung owners or non Samsung owners? Or, was there no difference?

    Question 14 options:
    The coupon attracted more Samsung owners than non Samsung owners, but this could be due to a sampling error
    We have some concerns but there is nothing else we can do
    Our firm conclusion is that the coupon attracted non Samsung owners more than Samsung owners and there is no doubt and we do not have to confirm with a statistical test
    Our tentative conclusion is that the coupon attracted non Samsung owners more than Samsung owners, but this could be due to a sampling error
