In: Statistics and Probability
A 28-year-old man pays $236 for a one-year life insurance policy with coverage of $19,798. If the probability that he will live through the year is 0.994, what is the expected value for the insurance policy?
Given that:
A 28-year-old man pays $236 for a one-year life insurance policy with coverage of $19,798. If the probability that he will live through the year is 0.994
Expected value for the insurance policy
= -236*0.994+ (19,798 - 236)*(1 - 0.994)
= -236*0.994+ 19,562*0.006
= -234.584+117.372
= -$117.212
