Jared is considering buying boat insurance. His annual income is ? = 100, and the cost to replace his boat in the event that he crashes it is ? = 36. Jared’s utility function over his own wealth is ?(?) = √?. Jared’s subjective estimate of the probability that he crashes his boat this year is ? ? = 0.05. What is the maximum amount that Jared would be willing to pay for boat insurance for the year? Assume the insurance company covers the entire cost of replacing the boat. (Hint: consider Jared’s wealth and his expected utility of that wealth in the case with and without insurance, and find the point where he’s indifferent.)

The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the average insurance
cost to a company per employee per hour is $1.84 for managers and
$1.99 for professional specialty workers. Suppose these figures
were obtained from 14 managers and 15 professional specialty
workers and that their respective population standard deviations
are $0.38 and $0.51. Assume that such insurance costs are normally
distributed in the population.
a. Calculate a 98% confidence interval to estimate the difference
in the mean hourly company expenditures for insurance for these two
groups. What is the value of the point estimate?
b. Test to determine whether there is a significant difference in
the hourly rates employers pay for insurance between managers and
professional specialty workers. Use a 2% level of significance.
