You work for a small insurance company. Your company is currently insuring 900 different cars for $10,000. If a car you are insuring gets in a crash you have to pay $10,000. Each car you insure has a 5% chance of crashing each year. If 50 cars you insure crash in a given year, you have to pay 50×$10, 000 = $500, 000 in insurance payouts that year.
