There is a probability of 0.1 that a given risk event will occur in a project. If it occurs it will result in a loss of $10,000. The insurance cost for this event is $700 plus a deductible amount of $250. Should a project manager buy this insurance?
The answer is given as "Yes, since $1000 > $950"
Can someone explain the reasoning please?
