Answer 1

Answer:

C - $1165.49

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the probability of a driver getting into an accident = 7.1% i.e. 0.071.

Now, the average cost of an accident = $14,886.05

Then, the expected cost of an accident =  $14,886.05 × 0.071 = $1056.91

As, the overhead cost for insurance = $110

Therefore, the driver's insurance premium = $1056.91 + $110 = $1166.91

Since, the closest option to $1166.91 is option C.

Hence, the driver's insurance premium will be $1165.49.
