How the probability and statistics is apply in insurance?

They are used to understand how to set insurance premiums. Take, for example, car insurance. The probability of a new driver getting in an accident is higher than an experienced driver. The probability of a male driver getting in an accident is higher than an female driver (in general). The probability of a person who has had many claims filing another claim is higher than someone who has never filed a claim. All these data guide the insurance industry to charge higher premiums to drivers who are new, male or have filed claims in the past.

How do you add tax to a price?

If the tax is 10 percent and the price of the item is $1.00 then you simply calculate 10% of 1.0. = 10 cents and add it to the original price.You would charge the person $1.10 (including tax).The simple way to calculate the final price mathematically is to express the percent as a decimal and add 1 to it. Then multiply the price by this number.I.e If the tax is 5.6% you would express this a 0.056 + 1 = 1.056 and multiple the pre tax price by this number.

What is minority charge carrier?

In semiconductor devices there are two types of charge carriers: electrons and holes. In N-type doped semiconductor the majority charge carriers are electrons and the minority charge carriers are holes. In P-type doped semiconductor the majority charge carriers are holes and the minority charge carriers are electrons.Some kinds of semiconductor devices operate using minority charge carriers in part(s) of their structure. The common bipolar junction transistor is one of these, they are sensitive to a phenomenon called thermal runaway because additional minority carriers are produced as temperature increases. (field effect transistors however operate using only majority carriers and are thus not sensitive to thermal runaway)
