There is a 0.9982 probability that a randomly selected 27 -year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charges \( \$ 199 \) for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the year, the policy pays out \( \$ 100,000 \) as a death benefit. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
b. If the 27 -year-old male purchases the policy, what is his expected value?
The expected value is \( \$-19 \).
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
c. Can the insurance company expect to make a profit from many such policies? Why?
\( \square \) because the insurance company expects to make an average profit of \( \$ \) \( \square \) on every 27 -year-old male it insures for 1 year.
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
