The probability that a 28-year-old male in the U.S. will die within one year is approximately 0.001395. If an insurance company sells a one-year, $30,000 life insurance policy to such a person for $195, what is the company's expectation? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.).
Company's profit when the person lives = 195
company's expectation = 195 * (1 - 0.001395) - 30000 * 0.001395 = $152.8 = $153
