In any year, a person can suffer from a minor fracture. From year to year, the number of people seeking treatment for such fractures is random. Let Y denote the treatment expenditure for a minor fracture in any given year. Suppose that in 91% of the years Y= $0, but in 9% of the years Y= $4,000. The mean treatment expenditure for a minor fracture in any year is $, and the standard deviation of the treatment expenditure for a minor fracture in any year is $. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Drug Y is a new agent for a rare fatal disease. Drug Y is said to cost more but more effective than Drug X, which is used for the same disease. On the average Drug X can extend life for 5 years at a cost of $10,000 while Drug Y can extend life for 6 years at a cost of $80,000 Previous research has shown that quality of life of people living with the disease is 0.3. Calculate the QALYs associated with each drug.
. A hospital director is considering two alternative investment programs. Both have costs of $5,000 in year 1 only. Project 1 provides benefits of $2,000 in each of the first 4 years only. Project 2 provides benefits of $ 2,000 for years 6 to 10 only. a. Compute the net benefits using a discount rate of 6 percent. b. Knowing that the calculations are dependent on the discount rate, conduct a sensitivity analysis by re - calculating with a discount rate of 12 percent. Based on your calculations, which investment program should the director choose?
