- Helparrow_forwardYou are playing a game where you draw a card from a standard deck, and you will win $7 if you draw a face card, $6 if you draw an ace and lose $2 if you draw any other card. Complete the probability distribution table. Let x be the winnings (which could be negative in the case of a loss). Remember to list the P(x) as a probability, not a percent.

- There is a 0.9991 probability that a randomly selected 29-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charges $152 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the year, the policy pays out $110,000 as a death benefit. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. From the perspective of the 29-year-old male, what are the monetary values corresponding to the two events of surviving the year and not surviving? The value corresponding to surviving the year is $negative 152−152. The value corresponding to not surviving the year is $109,848109,848. (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Part 2 b.
