A 28-year-old man pays $ 175 for a one-year life insurance policy with coverage of $140,000. If the probability that he will live through the year is 0.9993, what is the expected value for the insurance policy?
---------
Let the random variable track the value to the customer.
Random number values: -$175, 140,000-175 = $139825
----
Corresponding Probabilities: 0.9993 and 0.0.0007
-----
E(x) = (-175)(0.9993) + (139825)(0.0007) = -$77.00
