A rare painting valued at $60,000 has a 0.5% chance of being stolen in a given year. Assume that if it is stolen, the insurance company will pay the owner the full value of the painting. What is the minimum the insurance company should charge to insure this painting?
Added by Teresa H.
Step 1
The expected loss is the product of the probability of the event (in this case, the painting being stolen) and the cost of the event (in this case, the value of the painting). The probability of the painting being stolen is 0.5%, or 0.005 in decimal form. The Show more…

The annual premium for a $15,000 insurance policy against the theft of a painting is $250. If the (empirical) probability that the painting will be stolen during the year is 0.03, what is your expected return from the insurance company if you take out this insurance? Let X be the random variable for the amount of money received from the insurance company in the given year. E(X)= dollars

Insurance An insurance company needs to determine the annual premium required to break even on fire protection policies with a face value of 90,000 dollar If $x$ is the claim size on these policies and the analysis is restricted to the losses 30,000, 60,000, dollar and 90,000,dollar then the probability distribution of $x$ is as shown in the table. What premium should customers be charged for the company to break even? (Table cant copy)
