Study Notes

Health Insurance Policy

  • An insurer reimburses 100% of health care costs between 20 and 120.
  • Health care costs above 120 are reimbursed at 50%.
  • The cumulative distribution function of reimbursements is G.

Claim Submissions

  • The joint probability function of the number of claims submitted in April and May is given by a formula involving exponential functions.
  • The expected number of claims submitted in May, given that exactly 2 claims were submitted in April, is a function of e.

Probability of Defective Modems

  • A store has 80 modems from two sources, A and B, with 30 from A and 50 from B.
  • The probability of a defective modem from A is 20% and from B is 8%.
  • The probability that exactly two out of a sample of five modems are defective is calculated.

Life Insurance Policy

  • A policy pays 5000 if the policyholder dies before age 50 and 0 otherwise.
  • The probability that a policyholder will file more than three claims during a year is calculated.

Automobile Losses

  • The amounts of automobile losses are mutually independent and uniformly distributed between 0 and 20,000.
  • The insurer covers each loss subject to a deductible of 5,000.
  • The probability that the total payout on 200 reported losses is between 1,000,000 and 1,200,000 is calculated.

Insurance Profile

  • An insurance agent offers auto, homeowners, and renters insurance.
  • The purchase of homeowners and renters insurance is mutually exclusive.
  • The profile of the agent's clients is given by probabilities of having different products.
  • The percentage of clients with both auto and renters insurance is calculated.

Cumulative Distribution Function

  • The cumulative distribution function for health care costs is modeled by a function involving exponential functions.
  • The policy has a deductible of 20.
  • A random variable X has a cumulative distribution function involving a different formula.
  • The expected value of the largest of three claims is calculated.

Charity Contributions

  • A charity receives 2025 contributions with a mean of 3125 and standard deviation of 250.

  • The probability that the average of 25 randomly selected claims exceeds 20,000 is calculated.

Poisson Distribution

  • The number of claims filed by a policyholder under a vision care insurance policy is a Poisson random variable with mean 2.
  • The approximate probability that there is a total of between 2450 and 2600 claims during a one-year period is calculated.

Light Bulb Lifetime

  • The lifetime of a light bulb is normally distributed with mean 3 and variance 1.
  • The probability that at least one light bulb lasts for more than 3 months is calculated.

Independent Events

  • Four events are given, and the probability that their union equals the sum of their probabilities is calculated.

Envelope Probability

  • Four letters to different insureds are prepared along with accompanying envelopes.
  • The probability that at least one letter ends up in its accompanying envelope is calculated.

Health Insurance Policy

  • A health insurance policy covers visits to a doctor's office with a cost of 100.
  • The annual deductible is 350.
  • The probability that a policyholder had exactly five office visits, given that costs exceed the deductible, is calculated.

Machine Parts

  • A machine has two parts, A and B, with different probabilities of working for one year.
  • The probability that at least one part works for one year is given.
  • The probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year, is calculated.

Profit Distribution

  • The annual profit of a life insurance company is normally distributed.
  • The probability that the annual profit does not exceed 2000 and 3000 is given.
  • The probability that the annual profit does not exceed 1000 is calculated.

Automobile Claim

  • The loss on an automobile claim is a random variable with a cumulative distribution function involving a formula.
  • The probability that the loss is between 0.5V and 1.0V is calculated.

Independent Events

  • Two events, E and F, are independent with given probabilities.
  • The probability that exactly one of the two events occurs is calculated.

Flood Insurance

  • The number of claims received in a month is a random variable with a given probability distribution.
  • The probability that more than three claims will be received during a consecutive two-month period, given that fewer than two claims were received in the first month, is calculated.

Calculate the probability that the annual profit of a life insurance company does not exceed a certain amount, given the probabilities of profits not exceeding other amounts.
