A 35-year-old woman purchases a $100,000 term life insurance policy for an annual payment of $360. Based on a period life table for the U.S. government, the probability that she will survive this year is 0.999057. Find the expected value of the policy for the insurance company.
------------------------------
Random gain for the company:: 360...........-99,640
Probabilities..............0.999057....... 0.000943
----------------------
Expected gain = 0.999057*360 - 0.000943*99640 = $265.70
