Answer:

The insurance company can expect to make $900 on the policy

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount Ted pays per year for insurance on his home = $1,400

The value of the insurance policy = $5000

The chance that Ted will make a claim on the policy = 10%

The expected value is given as follows

Incidence    {}                 Probability        Value                                   v × p

A claim is made  {}          0.1                  $5,000 - $1,400 = -$3,600    -$360

No claim  {}                      0.9  {}               $1,400                                     $1260

Expected value is $1,260 - $360 = $900

The value the insurance company can be expected to make on average on the policy is $900

Given:
2 walls - 14ft by 9ft
2 walls - 20ft by 9ft

Wall 1 & 2 = 14ft * 9ft = 126 ft² x 2 = 252 ft²
Wall 3 & 4 = 20ft * 9ft = 180 ft² x 2 = 360 ft²

Total area = 252 ft² + 360 ft² = 612 ft²

Cost of 1 single roll: $20
612 ft² ÷ 18 ft² = 34 rolls * $20 = $680

Cost of double roll: $40
612 ft² ÷ 54 ft² = 11.33 rolls ⇒ 12 double rolls
12 * $40 = $480

If Christopher opts for 1 single roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $680.
If he opts for double roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $480.

Double roll of wallpaper is the cheaper option. He'll save $200 if he'll buy the double roll of wallpaper.
