Question 291113: An insurance company insures your baseball card collection, worth $20,000, for an annual premium of $300. The company figures that the probablity of the collection being stolen is .002. Based on this, what is the companys expected profit? Answer by brucewill(101) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The expected loss for any given year would be the value ($20,000) times the probability (0.002) or $40. Therefore, the profit for the insurance company would be $260 ($300 premium - $40 expected loss).
