    Expected value = 3.385

    Explanation:

    If an individual gets to benefit from an insurance policy, he will take insurance policy.

    Expected value = (Probability of an event * Pay off for dying) - [ (1-Probability of an event) * Pay off for living]

    Expected value = (0.246% * $100,000) - [ (1-0.246%) * $250]

    Expected value = ($246) - [0.99754 * $250]

    Expected value = ($246) - [249.385]

    Expected value = 3.385
