    Explanation:

    Using application of total expectation, E;

    N = Number of policy holders who have zero accidents in one month

    P = Probability

    N|Low = 400

    N|High=600

    P|Low=0.9

    P|High=0.8

    Therefore E = (N|Low*P|Low) + (N|High*P|High)

    E = (400*0.9) + (600*0.8)

    E=360+480

    E=840

    Then Total bonus for the year B

    B = E*12*5

    B=840*12*5

    B=50,400
