If p = 0.06 represents the probability that a customer will suffer an accident, and each accident costs the insurance company an average of $ 16,586.05. Then, the expected value of the cost that the insurance company must pay for each driver is:
$ 16,586.05 * 0.06 = 995,163. This plus the general cost of an insurance company per insured driver that is $ 100 gives a total of $ 1095,163. The answer is option B. The insurance company must request a premium of $ 1095.16
