Question

Scatterbrain Samantha often forgets to lock her house. This has caused the probability of a burglary to be 30%. If her house gets broken into, she faces a property loss of $10,000, otherwise she gets to keep her $100,000. If Samantha is offered full coverage for her house at $1,500, what is her expected wealth with the insurance policy

Answer 1

$98,500

Hence, the expected wealth of Samantha with the insurance policy is $98,500
