Answer: if 3 for every 1000 students quit due serious health issues, then you can see the proportion doing the quotient between this numbers. This is:

3/1000 = 0.003

Then if you choose a random student, you have a 0.003 probability of choosing one who can have a health issue.

and a 0.997 probability to choose a student with no health issues.

Now, the company wins  $50 for the healthy students, and lose ($50 - $8000)  = -$7950 for each student that is sick (because they initially pay the 50$ and latter get the $8000).

Then the insurance company should expect to make in average:

0.997*$50 - 0.003*($7950) = $26

So the company should expect to make 26 dollars per student in a year.

Nostrana [21]
Since 4 nights cost $356, 356÷4=89, so one night costs $89. 7-4=3, so 89×3 is 267. 267+356 is 623. The total cost for 7 nights would be $623
