There is a 0.9968 probability that a randomly selected 50 year old female lives through the year (based on data from the US department of Health and Human Services). A Fidelity life insurance company charges $226 for insuring that the female will live through the year. If she does not survive the year, the policy pays out $50,000 as a death benefit.

There is a 0.9968 probability that a randomly selected 50-year-old female lives through the year (based on data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).

A Fidelity life insurance company charges $226 for insuring that the female will live through the year. If she does not survive the year, the policy pays out $50,000 as a death benefit.

From the perspective of the 50-year-old female, what are the values corresponding to the two events of surviving the year and not surviving?

Ans: -226 ; 50,000-226 = 49774

If a 50-year-old female purchases the policy, what is her expected value?

WORK TRIED:

In the event she lives, the value is -$226. In the event she dies, the value is $49,774.

E(x) = 0.9968*(-226) + 0.0032(49774) = -$66

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
