Assume that you researched insurance industry statistics and found out that the probability of major accident is 0.05%, and that the probability of a fender bender is 0.16%. What is the expected value decision? Would you choose this? Why or why not? What would be some alternate ways to evaluate risk? 12-2: Suppose that the service rate to a waiting line system is 10 customers per hour (exponentially distributed).
