Algebra.Com's Answer #692174 by jorel1380(3719)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A.The cost of repairs is $8000 per incident, while the probability of an incident is 0.0005. So the expected cost is 8000x0.0005, or $4 per policy. Thus, the net profit from one policy is 28-4, or $24/policy.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B. 300000 policies x $24/policy=$7,200,000 profit annually from lightning insurance. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( " |
