2 Question #4 Key: A The random variable ln( S 0.5 / 0.5) has a normal distribution with parameters μ = ( / )(0.5) = σ = 0.35 (0.5) = The upper limit for the normal random variable is = The upper limit for the stock price is e = Question # 5 0 ( O 0 0 j 50) χ = = 0.0 Oj 100 Oj + 0(50) j= 1 50 j= 1 j= 1 = 0.0[51, (1, 000) + 50, 000] = 37 With 19 degrees of freedom, the critical value at a 0.01 significance level is and therefore the null hypothesis is rejected at this level. Question # 6 Key: A μ( I) = v( I) = 0.5 μ( II ) = v( II ) = 1.5 μ = 0.5θ + 1.5(1 θ) = 1.5 θ v = 0.5θ + 1.5(1 θ) = 1.5 θ a = (0.5) θ + (1.5) (1 θ) (1.5 θ) = θ θ 1 θ θ Z = = 1.5 θ θ θ θ

4 Question # 10 Shifting adds δ to the mean and median. The median of the unshifted exponential m / θ distribution is the solution to 0.5 = Sm ( ) = e for m = θ ln(). The equations to solve are 300 = θ + δ 40 = θ ln() + δ. Subtracting the second equation from the first gives 60 = θ[1 ln()], θ = From the first equation, δ = = Question # 11 Key: D vˆ = = /3 aˆ = = 34/ Z = = = / / 9 Question # 1 Key: A Sˆ(9) = 0.16 r = 0.16(00) = 3 10 s = r ( r s ) s = s10 = 10. 3(3 s10)
5 Question # 13 Key: C 1 x /10,000 EY ( ) = ( x 30,000)(10,000) e dx 30,000 = 1 ( y+ 30,000)/10,000 y(10,000) e dx 0 3 = e = (10,000) x /10,000 EY ( ) = ( x 30,000) (10,000) e dx 30,000 Var Y = = e 1 ( y+ 30,000)/10,000 y (10,000) e dx 0 ()(10, 000) 3 = 9,957, ( ) 9,957, ,709, = = SD( Y ) = 3, CV = 3,116.01/ = Question # 14 α 0 0α αθ α θ f( x) =, L( αθ, ) = ( x + θ ) ( + ) α α + 1 x j 1 j θ = 0 j= 1 ln L( α, θ) = 0ln( α) + 0αln( θ) ( α + 1) ln( x + θ). Under the null hypotheses, α = and θ = 3.1. The loglikelihood value is 0 ln() + 0() ln(3.1) 3(39.30) = Under the alternative hypotheses, α = and θ = 7.0. The loglikelihood value is 0 ln() + 0() ln(7.0) 3(49.01) = Twice the difference of the loglikelihood values is There is one degree of freedom (no estimated parameters in the null hypothesis versus one estimated parameter in the alternative hypothesis). At the 0.01 significance level the critical value is and so the null hypothesis is rejected. j
6 Question # 15 Key: D For one year, ( 1) x (1 ) x a (1 ) x + a π q x q q q q = q (1 q) x. This is a beta distribution with parameters x 1 + a and 17 x 1. The mean is the Bayesian credibility estimate of q and 8 times that value is the estimate of the expected number of claims in year. Then, with x 1 =, + a.5455 = 8 which implies a = a For two years, ( 1, ) x (1 ) x x (1 ) x a (1 ) x + x + q x x q q q q q q q a π (1 q) x = x. This is a beta distribution with parameters x 1 + x + a and 5 x 1 x. The mean is the Bayesian credibility estimate of q and 8 times that value is the estimate of the expected number of claims in year. Then, with x 1 =, x = k, and a = 5, 7 + k = 8 which implies k = Question # 16 Key: C Two of the five observations are less than or equal to 150 and so the empirical estimate is /5 = 0.4. For the kernel density, analyze the contribution of each data point as follows: 8 is uniformly spread from 3 to 13. With the entire range below 150, it contributes 0. to the answer. 16 is uniformly spread from 76 to 176. The contribution is 0.(150 76)/100 = is uniformly spread from 111 to 11. The contribution is 0.( )/100 = The last two points are more than 50 above 150 and so contribute nothing. The total is = Question # 17 Key: A ES ( ) = 100(0, 000) =, 000, 000 Var( S) = 100(5, 000) + 5 (0, 000) = 5,500, 000, 000 SD( S) = 50,494 3,000,000,000,000 Pr[ S > 1.5(, 000, 000)] = Pr Z > 50, 494 = Pr( Z > 1.99) =
7 Question # 18 Key: C The maximum likelihood estimate of a Poisson mean is the sample mean. Here it is 1000(0) + 100(1) + 600() + 00(3) = The variance of the sample mean is the variance of a single observation divided by the sample size. For the Poisson distribution, the variance equals the mean, so the mle of the variance is the sample mean. The estimated variance of the sample mean is 1/3000 and the lower end point of the confidence interval is / 3000 = Question # 19 Key: C The random variable ln( S / 50) has a normal distribution with mean ( / )() = 0.1 and variance (0.3 )() = 0.18, and thus a standard deviation of The three uniform random numbers become the following three values from the standard normal:.1, -1.77, Upon multiplying each by the standard deviation of and adding the mean of 0.1, the resulting normal values are 1.109, , and The simulated stock prices are obtained by exponentiating these numbers and multiplying by 50. This yields, , 9.11, and The average of these three numbers is Question # 0 Key: D In each row of the table, take the largest absolute difference between F* and the two empirical values. By row, the results are 0.079, 0.089, 0.098, 0.101, 0.111, and The overall maximum is To complete the test, multiply by the square root of the sample size (00) to obtain Because this number is between 1.5 and 1.63, reject at a 0.0 significance level but do not reject at Question # 1 Key: A μα ( ) = αθ, v( α) = αθ v= E αθ = θ a= Var αθ = θ Var α ( ) 50, ( ) ( ) 0.5 = Var( α) = 5/ 3 = θ + θ Var( α)
8 Question # Key: D 1 Group 1 has the baseline distribution with S0( x) (00 / x) α, f0( x) 00 α α x α = =. Group has the following survival and density functions (where b is used for e β ): b αb αb αb 1 S1( x) = [ S0( x)] = (00 / x), f1( x) = αb00 x. The loglikelihood function for the six observations is ln( α) + α ln(00) ( α + 1) ln(75) + ln( α) + α ln(00) ( α + 1) ln(35) + ln( α) + α ln(00) ( α + 1) ln(50) + ln( αb) + αb ln(00) ( αb+ 1) ln(15) + ln( αb) + αb ln(00) ( αb+ 1) ln(50) + ln( αb) + αb ln(00) ( αb+ 1) ln(300). Differentiating with respect to the two variables and gathering terms gives the two equations: α = 0 b b = 0. α Then, b =.51 and its logarithm, 0.9 is the estimate of β. The algebra can be made easier by setting c = αb. Then the derivatives lead to two equations each in a single variable. Question # 3 Key: C At time 1 there are three possible outcomes: 3(1.1) 0 = 3.3, 3.3 = 1.3, and = -.7 with probabilities 0.6, 0.3, and 0.1 respectively. The last case terminates the process with ruin and a probability of 0.1. In the other two cases the process continues. At time there are three possible outcomes for each of the two continuing cases. Two examples are (3.3 + )1.1 0 = 5.83 with probability 0.6(0.6) = 0.36 and (1.3 + )(1.1) 6 = -.37 with probability 0.3(0.1) = The six ending values and their probabilities are: (5.83, 0.36), (3.83, 0.18), (3.63, 0.18), (1.63, 0.09), (-0.17, 0.06), and (-.37, 0.03). Ruin takes place in the last two cases, adding 0.09 to the ruin probability for a total of 0.19 so far. The other four cases continue. While there are now twelve outcomes at time 3, if the year starts at 5.83, 3.83, or 3.63 then adding the premium of and earning 10% interest takes the surplus above 6 and so ruin is not possible. If the year starts at 1.63, surplus prior to claims is ( )(1.1) = and only a claim of 6 will cause ruin. The probability is 0.09(0.1) = Adding this in gives the answer of
9 Question # 4 For the 0 th percentile, begin with 0.(16 + 1) = 3.4 and interpolate for 0.6(75) + 0.4(81) = For the 70 th percentile, begin with 0.7(17) = 11.9 and interpolate for 0.1(1) + 0.9(15) = The equations and their solution are: τ τ (77.4/ θ) (14.7 / θ) 0. = 1 e, 0.7 = 1 e τ τ = (77.4 / θ ), = (14.7 / θ ) τ = (14.7 / 77.4) τ = ln(5.9558) / ln(14.7 / 77.4) = / θ = 77.4 / = where the equation on the third line is obtained by dividing the second equation on the second line by the first equation on that line. Question # 5 Key: A 46(0) + 34(1) + 13() + 5(3) + (4) ˆ μ = vˆ= x = = ( 0.83) + 34(0.17) + 13(1.17) + 5(.17) + (3.17) s = = aˆ = = Z = = The estimated number of claims in 5 years for this policyholder is (3) (0.83) = For one year the estimate is /5 = 0.1. Question # 6 Key: B The formula for the number in the risk set is rj = Pj + d j and so the risk set values are 6, 11, 16, 11, 3, 1, and 0. The number of claims are in the x column of the table. Then, Sˆ(500) = = = Sˆ(6000) = = The answer is the ratio, / =
10 Question # 7 Key: D The risk measure is 1/ gsx [ ( )] dx= Sx ( ) dx = 0 dx x 1000 ( x) = 1 = Question # 8 Key: B The empirical distribution indicates probabilites of 0. at 10, 0.4 at 100, and 0.4 at 1000 for a mean of 0.(10) + 0.4(100) + 0.4(1000) = 44. Two percentiles from the lognormal distribution can be inferred from the graph. The 0 th percentile is at 10 and the 60 th percentile is at 100. To obtain the parameters, two equations can be solved: ln10 μ ln100 μ 0. = F(10) =Φ, 0.6 = F(100) =Φ σ σ ln10 μ ln100 μ = 0.84, = 0.53 σ σ ln10 = μ 0.84 σ, ln100 = μ+ 0.53σ ln100 ln10 = 1.095σ σ =.108, μ = ln σ = / mean = e = The difference is 93.9.
11 Question # 9 There are four possible bootstrap samples for the two fire losses and four for the wind losses. Thus there are 16 equally likely outcomes. Because some combinations produce the same squared error (for example 3,3 for fire and 0,3 for wind and 3,3 for fire and 3,0 for wind) they are not repeated in the table below. Fire losses Wind losses Total loss Eliminated Fraction Square error Number 3,3 0, ,3 0, ,3 3, ,4 0, ,4 0, ,4 3, ,4 0, ,4 0, ,4 3, The mean square error is 1(0.0400) + (0.0005) + L+ 1(0.0073) = Question # 30 Key: C 1 x/ β 3 c/ β 4 ( x+ c)/ β π( β x) f( x β) π( β) = β e β e = β e There are two ways to proceed. One is to recognize that as a function of β this is an inverse gamma density with α = 3 and θ = x + c. The mean of (x + c)/ can be looked up. The second method is to complete the integrals. Use fact (iii) to obtain 4 ( x+ c)/ β β e dβ =. 0 3 ( x + c) The complete posterior density is 3 ( x+ c) 4 ( x c)/ β π( β x) = β e + and fact (iii) can be used to obtain the mean. 3 3 ( x + c) 4 ( x+ c)/ β ( x+ c) 1 x+ c E( β x) = β β e dβ = =. 0 ( x+ c)

This is required for Bühlmann, but is not necessary for Bühlmann-Straub. (B) is false. This method depends only the moments of the distributions. No particular distribution is required. (C) is false. This number appears in limited fluctuation credibility. Question # 33 Key: D At time 8 (the first uncensored time) the risk set is 7 (original 8 less the one censored at 4) and there is 1 observation. At time 1 the risk set is 5 and there are observations. Then, 1 Hˆ (1) = + = ˆ 1 Var ˆ [ H (1)] = + = The upper limit is =

These are monthly values. The annual mean and variance are 0.030(1) = and (1) = The expected return is / = Question # 35 Pr( D= 0 G = 1/ 3) Pr( G = 1/ 3) Pr( G = 1/ 3 D= 0) = Pr( D= 0 G = 1/ 3) Pr( G = 1/ 3) + Pr( D= 0 G = 1/ 5) Pr( G = 1/ 5) (1/ 3)( / 5) 10 = = (1/ 3)( / 5) + (1/ 5)(3/ 5) 19 Question # 36 Key: B μ = 0.6(000) + 0.3(3000) + 0.1(4000) = 500 v = 1000 a = + + = 80 Z = = ,000, , 000 4, , ,000 x = = estimate is (1100) (500) = (000) 0.3(3000) 0.1(4000) , 000 Question # /100 F(300) = 1 e = The variance of the estimate is 0.950(0.0498)/n.
