Question
Giselle has purchased the insurance policy from an insurance company to cover the value of hers new car in case if it gets totaled for the price of $1300 per year. Giselle's car worth $21000 and the probability of her totaling the car during the length of the policy is estimated to be 0.3%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions:
1. Create the probability distribution table for XX :
XX | outcome | profit xx ,$ | P(X=x)P(X=x) |
car is totaled | |||
car is not totaled |
2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following:
-
- E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
- SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
