Suppose a life insurance company sells a $190,000 1-year term life insurance policy to a 20-year-old female for $300. According to the National Vital Statistics Report, 58(21), the probability that the female survives the year is 0.999544. Compute and interpret the expected value of this policy to the insurance company. The expected value is $. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

As a promotional offer, a newly opened movie theatre is awarding 25% of their new patrons with a complimentary dinner, and the rest are given a free drink. To boost their sales of tickets online, they allocated 51% of the complimentary dinners and 50% of the free drinks to tickets that are sold online. a. If a movie-goer purchased their ticket online, what is the probability of them winning a complimentary dinner? Answer in exact fraction, or rounded to at least 4 decimal places b. If a movie-goer did not purchase their ticket online, what is the probability of them winning a free drink? Answer in exact fraction, or rounded to at least 4 decimal places

Suppose you pay $500 per year to insure your car worth $10,000. The probability that you get in an accident, totaling the car, in any year is 0.001. Find your expected value of the insurance. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Hint: if you get in the accident you will be paid $10,000. However, you already paid the $500, so you must use the net of $9,500.
