3. A company estimates that 0.8% of their products will fail after the original warranty period but within 2 years of the purchase, with a replacement cost of $450.
If they offer a 2 year extended warranty for $26, what is the company's expected profit or loss of each warranty sold? Round to the nearest cent.

A bag contains 2 gold marbles, 8 silver marbles, and 27 black marbles. The rules of the game are as follows: You randomly select one marble from the bag. If it is gold, you win $6, if it is silver, you win $3. If it costs $1 to play, what is your expected profit or loss if you play this game?
5. A company estimates that 9% of their products will fail after the original warranty period but within 2 years of the purchase, with a replacement cost of $50.
If they want to offer a 2 year extended warranty, what price should they charge so that they'll break even (in other words, so the expected profit will be 0)
