Answer:

$146

Explanation:

Expected Value:

The probability of your car getting stolen is 2% or .02. The total cost of your car is $7300. The probability of your car not getting stolen is 98% or.98. so the equation you'll be using is E=P*A+P*A which looks like this when adding all the number in.

E=7300(.02)+0(.98)=146

the zero just means your insurance did not pay anything:))

so the answer will be C, because they added taxes to it haha

Hope it helped
