An insurance policy on an electrical device pays a benefit of $4800 if the device fails during the first year. The amount of the benefit decreases by $800 each successive year until it reaches 0 . If the device has not failed by the beginning of any given year, the probability of failure during that year is 0.23. Find the expected benefit under this policy.
