4 iv NOTES Questions and parts of some solutions have been taken from material copyrighted by the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries. They are reproduced in this study manual with the permission of the CAS and SoA solely to aid students studying for the actuarial exams. Some editing of questions has been done. Students may also request past exams directly from both societies. I am very grateful to these organizations for their cooperation and permission to use this material. They are, of course, in no way responsible for the structure or accuracy of the manual. Exam questions are identified by numbers in parentheses at the end of each question. CAS questions have four numbers separated by hyphens: the year of the exam, the number of the exam, the number of the question, and the points assigned. SoA or joint exam questions usually lack the number for points assigned. W indicates a written answer question; for questions of this type, the number of points assigned are also given. A indicates a question from the afternoon part of an exam. MC indicates that a multiple choice question has been converted into a true/false question. Page references refer to Bowers et al., Actuarial Mathematics (1997), Cunningham et al.

Although I have made a conscientious effort to eliminate mistakes and incorrect answers, I am certain some remain. I am very grateful to students who discovered errors in the past and encourage those of you who find others to bring them to my attention.

T, p. 104 For deferred insurance, there is no payout during the deferral period so F Z (0) > F, p. 104 The mode is 0 since this is the probability mass for the deferral period. 3. F, pp. 78, Z < v 30 over two intervals: when t is between 0 and 5, the deferral period, and when t is between 30 and 60.
