$150

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we have a random variable with four possible outcomes  

0, 1000, 5000 and 10000

and four possible probabilities of occurrence

0.83, 0.10, 0.05 and 0.02

respectively.

The expectation of this random variable is (* means multiplication),

0.83*0 + 0.10*1000 + 0.05*5000 + 0.02*10000 = 100 + 250 + 200 = 550  

This represents the amount of money the company expects to pay a customer in a given year.

As the deductible is $500, the customer would pay $500 in case of an accident, so the company would only have to pay

$550 - $500 = $50.

So, if the company wishes a profit of $100, the premium amount should be $150.
