# Exam P Practice Problem 94 – Tracking High School Students

Problem 94-A

A researcher tracked a group of 900 high school students taking standardized tests in math and chemistry. Some of the students were given after-school tutoring before the tests (in both subjects) and the rest of the students received no tutoring. The following information is known about the test results:

• 510 of the students passed math test and 475 of the students passed chemistry test.
• Of the students who failed both subjects, there were 20% more students who did not receive tutoring than there were students who received tutoring.
• Of the students who failed chemistry and had tutoring, there were 99 more students who failed math than there were students who passed math.
• Of the students who failed chemistry and had no tutoring, there were 4 more students who failed math than there were students who passed math.
• There were 126 students who failed math and passed chemistry.

Determine the probability that a randomly selected student from this group had tutoring given that the student passed both subjects.

$\displaystyle (A) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.6810$

$\displaystyle (B) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.6828$

$\displaystyle (C) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.6859$

$\displaystyle (D) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.6877$

Problem 94-B

An insurance company tracked a group of 800 insureds for 2 years. It was found that 560 of the insureds had no claims in year 1 and 380 of the insureds had no claims in year 2. Of the insureds who had no claims in both years, there were four times as many male insureds than there were female insureds. Furthermore, there were 230 male insureds who had no claims in year 2 and there were 53 females insureds who had claims in both years. It is also known that there were 85 male insureds who had claims in year 1.

Determine the number of insureds who had no claims in year 1 but had claims in year 2.

$\displaystyle (A) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 320$

$\displaystyle (B) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 347$

$\displaystyle (C) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 369$

$\displaystyle (D) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 420$

# Exam P Practice Problem 91 – Reviewing a Group of Policyholders

Problem 91-A

A life insurance actuary reviewed a group of policyholders whose policies or contracts were inforce as of last year. The actuary found that 12% of the policyholders who had only a life insurance policy did not survive to this year and that 7.5% of the policyholders who had only an annuity contract did not survive to this year. The actuary also found that 5.9% of the policyholders who had both a life insurance policy and an annuity contract did not survive to this year.

In this group of policyholders, 65% of the policyholders had a life insurance policy and 57% of the policyholders had an annuity contract. Furthermore, each policyholder in this group either had a life insurance policy or an annuity contract.

What is the percentage of the policyholders that did not survive to this year?

$\displaystyle (A) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 7.8 \%$

$\displaystyle (B) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 9.0 \%$

$\displaystyle (C) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 12.0 \%$

Problem 91-B

A sport coach in a university tracks a group of athletes. The coach finds that 36% of the athletes who play soccer only are first year university students and that 20% of the athletes who are involved only in track and field are first year university students. The coach also discovers that 27% of the athletes participates in both soccer and track and field are first year university students.

According to university records, 45% of the athletes in this group play soccer and 68% of the athletes in this group participate in track and field. Each of the athletes in this group either plays soccer or participates in track and field.

Out of this group of athletes, what is the percentage of the athletes that are not first year university students?

$\displaystyle (A) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 64 \%$

$\displaystyle (B) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 67 \%$

$\displaystyle (C) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 70 \%$

$\displaystyle (D) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 74 \%$
