You pay the insurance company $220 annually to insure your painting under the following circumstances: ‘If the painting is stolen, the company will cover the full value of the piece. ‘If the painting is damaged, the company will cover % of the value. Based on empirical probability, the company states that the probability of the painting getting stolen is 0.001 and the probability that the painting will be damaged is 0.02. 1.
