Bill has purchased the insurance policy from an insurance company to cover the value of his new RV in case if it gets totaled for the price of $1300 per year. Bill's RV worth $38000 and the probability of him totaling the RV during the length of the policy is estimated to be 0.1%. Let X be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for X: X outcome profit x ,$ P(X=x) RV is totaled RV is not totaled 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX= dollars.
