Given:
An insurance company will sell P 500,000.00 one year term by insurance policy for ramp models for a premium P 1,000.00.
To find:
The expected value to the company
Solution:
Let us suppose that X is value to be paid then 1000 - E (X) will be the expected value of the company of a single policy.
X P(x) X(px)
0 99x97% = 0.9997 0
500,000 1 - 0.9997 = 0.0003 150
E xp(x) = 150
= 850
so answer is P 850.
