Gabrielle has purchased the 2-year extended warranty from a retailer to cover the value of hers new cellphone in case if it gets damaged or becomes inoperable for the price of $25. Gabrielle's cellphone is worth $1400 and the probability that it gets damaged or becomes inoperable during the length of the extended warranty is estimated to be 4%. Let XX be the retailer's profit from selling the extended warranty. Answer the following questions:
1. Create the probability distribution table for XX :
XX
outcome
profit xx ,$
P(X=x)P(X=x)
the cellphone gets damaged or becomes inoperable
no claim filed
2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following:
E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
