Explanation of Solution

The average spending of high-risk patients is $40,000, low-risk patients is $1,000, and the overall low-risk patients is 90%.

Therefore, the average spending for this population can be calculated as follows:

Average spending=(% of low risk patients×Average spendinglow risk)+(% of high risk patients×Average spendinghigh risk)=(0.90×1,000)+(0.10×40,000)=900+4,000=4,900

Thus, the average spending is $4,900.
