In Example 5, what is the insurance company’s expected value if it writes the policy?


Data from Example 5

An outdoor concert featuring a popular musical group is scheduled for a Sunday afternoon in a large open stadium. The promoter, worrying about being rained out, contacts a long-range weather forecaster who predicts the chance of rain on that Sunday to be .24. If it does not rain, the promoter is certain to net $100,000; if it does rain, the promoter estimates that the net will be only $10,000. An insurance company agrees to insure the concert for $100,000 against rain at a premium of $20,000. Should the promoter buy the insurance?
