Records from the buzz sawmill show that workers have 0.03 probability of losing a leg and a 0.04 probability of losing an arm in any one year. Armand leg casualty insurance company plans to offer insurance policies for the workers. The company will pay $300 fir the loss of an arm,$400 for the loss of a leg and $6000 for the loss of both an arm and a leg. On the average, how will the company expect to pay out per policy?

My answer: $31.40

*** Armand Legg wants to make a profit of $10 per policy. How much should the premium be? That is, how much should the company charge each worker for the policy?
:( ?

Expected pay-out

= .04(300) + .03(400) + (.03)(.04)(6000)
= 12 + 12 + 7.20
= $31.20

how did you get 31.40 ?

to make a $10 profit, they should charge 41.20 per policy

To calculate how much the company expects to pay out per policy, we need to consider the probabilities of each event occurring and the associated payouts.

Let's break down the potential outcomes:

1. Probability of losing a leg: 0.03
Payout for losing a leg: $400

2. Probability of losing an arm: 0.04
Payout for losing an arm: $300

3. Probability of losing both an arm and a leg: unknown (not provided in the question)
Payout for losing both an arm and a leg: $6000

To calculate the expected payout, we multiply the probability of each event by its respective payout:

Expected payout = (Probability of losing a leg * Payout for losing a leg)
+ (Probability of losing an arm * Payout for losing an arm)
+ (Probability of losing both an arm and a leg * Payout for losing both an arm and a leg)

Since the probability of losing both an arm and a leg is not provided, we cannot accurately calculate the expected payout. Please provide the missing information so we can proceed with the calculation.

Regarding the second part of your question, to determine the premium that Armand Legg should charge each worker to make a profit of $10 per policy, we need to consider the number of policies and the expected payout per policy. Unfortunately, without the complete information, we cannot calculate the premium. Please provide the additional data required, including the number of policies per worker, to proceed with the calculation.
