A life insurance company sells a term insurance policy to 21-year old males that pays $100,00 if the insured dies within the next 5 years. The probability that a randomly chosen male will die each year can be found in mortality tables. The company collects a premium, of $250 each year as payment for the insurance. The amount Y that the company earns on a randomly selected policy of this type is $250 per year, less the $100,000 that it must pay if the insured dies.

The Chart Below is the probability distribution of Y

Calculate the expected value of Y. Explain what this results means for the insurance company.
