6.An insurance company sells 1-year life insurance policies for 40 year old males. The insurer pays out \$10,000 in the event that the insured dies within 1 year of purchasing a policy, and charges a single premium of \$30. The probability that a 40 year old male dies within 1 year is 0.23%.

Complete the following probability distribution for X, where X is the amount of money that the insurance company makes on the policy in the events that the man survives the year or dies within the year.

For column x, answers should be integers (positives or negatives of whole numbers; no decimals). For column P(x), answers should be decimals rounded to 4 decimal places. (do not include units for any answers)

 event x P(x) survives dies
