Nicole has purchased the life insurance policy for her fish for the price of $200 per year and Nicole will receive $4000 in case if her fish passes away. The insurance company estimated the probability of her fish passing away during the length of the policy to be 0.5%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) fish passes away fish survives 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.) SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
