An insurance company charges its policy holders an annual premium of $400 for the following types of accidents:

  • If the policy holder suffers a "major accident" resulting in lengthy hospitalization, the company will pay out $40,000 to the injured policy holder.
  • If the policy holder suffers a "minor accident" resulting in significant absence from work, the company will pay out $5,000 to the injured policy holder.
  • If no injury is encountered (the most probable event), the company, of course, does not pay out anything to the policy holder.

Past records show that, each year, 1 in every 2500 policy holders experiences a "major accident"; and 1 in every 200 experiences a "minor accident". Assume that the only company expense related to this policy is the annual payout.

a. Construct a probability distribution table for X where X refers to the annual insurance company's profit for this policy, where X = Annual Premium-Annual Payout. Keep your work to a minimum of 4 decimals.

b. Compute the expected annual profit that the insurance company can expect to receive per policy holder.
