The tables in Exercises 3-4 show claims and their probabilities for an insurance company. a. Calculate the expected value and describe what this means in practical terms. b. How much should the company charge as an average premium so that it breaks even on its claim costs? c. How much should the company charge to make a profit of \(\$ 50\) per policy?

In Exercises 43-48, an ice chest contains six cans of apple juice, eight cans of grape juice, four cans of orange juice, and two cans of mango juice. Suppose that you reach into the container and randomly select three cans in succession. Find the probability of selecting three cans of apple juice.
Make Sense? Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I found the probability of getting rain at least once in ten days by calculating the probability that none of the days have rain and subtracting this probability from \(1 .\)
