Sam is applying for a single year life insurance policy worth $29,300.00. If the actuarial tables determine that she will survive the next year with probability 0.997, what is her expected value for the life insurance policy if the premium is $426.00?
Probaility of survival=0.997
Probabilty of non survival=1-0.997=0.03
If sam dies,her death benefit wll be 0.03*29300=87.9
If sam survives,he gets 0.
Expected value=Expected benefit-cost
=87.9-426=-338.1
