anyone please help me

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the expected value is E = 0.0006 x 150 000 + 0.9994 x (-181) the cost of the policy is negative... and you use probability multiplied by the payoff...

-90.891?

Well it should be, the insurance company won't lose money... its the policy hoder who does.
