The expected value of buying this insurance policy is $50.
The expected value of buying the insurance policy is the weighted average of probabilities of the cost of the insurance and the cover if Jacob gets into an accident.
If Jacob gets into an accident and is covered, his payout will be:
= benefit - cost
= 10,000 - 750
= $9,250
The probability of this happening is 8%.
If Jacob does not get into an accident he would lose the $750 he paid in insurance premiums. The probability of this happening is:
= 100% - 8%
= 92%
The expected value of the insurance is:
= (probability of accident * payout if there is an accident) + (probability of no accident * payout if there is no accident)
= (8% * 9,250) + (92% * -750)
= $50
