Respuesta :

Answer:

The expected value for the person buying the insurance is of -$48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value:

0.169% = 0.00169 probability of earning the death benefit of $100,000, subtracting 217, 100000 - 217 = $99,783.

100 - 0.169 = 99.831% = 0.99831 probability of losing $217.

What is the expected value for the person buying the insurance?

[tex]E = 0.00169*99783 - 0.99831*217 = -48[/tex]

The expected value for the person buying the insurance is of -$48.
