50 Question #4 Key: C For the Pareto parameters given, the mean is θ α = 000,so the annual premium is 000. = 00. b g Simulating the times of claims, we use the formula t = 0. 5 lnb xg to get the times between claims to be 0.886, 0.388, 0.37, so claims occur at times 0.886,.74, and.60, so we only have to worry about the first claim. For the Pareto, F x = F HG 000 x I K J, so inverting gives x = 000 F u 000. Using this on the first value provided gives a severity of = 05. Clearly this will not cause ruin, since more than 5 of premium has been collected by time 0.886, so final surplus = initial surplus + premium losses = = 85.

51 Question #5 Key: E One approach is to recognize an interpretation of formula 7.4. or exercise 7.7a: Level benefit premiums can be split into two pieces: one piece to provide term insurance for n years; one to fund the reserve for those who survive. If you think along those lines, you can derive formula 7.4.: P = P + P V x x: n x: n n x And plug in to get = P P x: n x: n = Another approach is to think in terms of retrospective reserves. Here is one such solution: V = P P && s n x x x: n x: n = P P x = P P = e e e e x P x e x: n x: n x: n P P x: n j j j j j a&& n P x: n Ex a&& x: n a&& x: n x: n = P / P x: n e = = x: n j

One approach is: Since so P A A A c 40h a A50 = = = so a50 = δ a A40 = = = so a40 = δ = = V A = A P A a = = F HG F HG I = KJ I = KJ c h c h

F H Var a T x I K = x Ax A δ = I HG + K J F I HG K J =.. = Question #8 Key: B Let S denote aggregate losses before deductible. E S = = 4, since mean severity is. 0 = = e f S 0 0! f Sbg F = H G I K J F H G I K J = e! 0353., since must have 0 number to get aggregate losses = , since must have loss whose size is to get aggregate losses =. S S S S E S = 0 f 0 + f + f 0 f b g = = 639. E S = E S E S + = = c b h g

54 Question #9 Key: D Poisson processes are separable. The aggregate claims process is therefore equivalent to two independent F processes, one for Type I claims with expected frequency b3000g 000 and 3 one for Type II claims. Let S I = aggregate Type I claims. N I = number of Type I claims. X I = severity of a Type I claim (here = 0). Since X = 0, a constant, E X = 0; Var X = 0. I I I b Ig b Ig b Ig b Ig b Ig Var S = E N Var X + Var N E X b000gb0g b000gb0g = + = 00, 000 Var S = Var S + Var S since independent,00,000 = 00,000 + Var S Var S b Ig b IIg b IIg b IIg =, 000, 000 HG I K J =

Probability of reaching t = 0.7 is = 0.93 Decrement operates only at t = 0.7, eliminating 0.5 of those who reached 0.7 q 40 = = 065.

57 Question #3 Key: D Let states 0,,, 3 correspond to surplus of 0,,, 3. One year transition matrix T = T T 3 L N M L N M L N M = = O Q P O Q P T = Prob of starting in 3 and ending in 0 = = 0.90 or = O Q P If you anticipate how T 3 will be used, you see it is sufficient to calculate only the fourth row of it, or even only column of row 4. Alternatively, it is certainly correct, and probably shorter, to calculate 3 M T T T M T, M = rather than where See problem 9 for an example of that method.

Per supplied tables: p rβ = = = 0. r+! + β 3 b g Λ Λ rβ = rβ + β = 6 + β = 3 β = and rβ = r = Alternatively, if you don t recognize that N will have a negative binomial distribution, derive gamma density from moments (hoping α is an integer).

Only the first entry of the last matrix need be calculated (verifying that the four sum to is useful quality control. ). Compare this with solution 3. It would be valid to calculate T 3 here, but advancing M one year at a time seems easier.

64 Question #30 Key: B Let Y i be the number of claims in the ith envelope. Let Xb3g be the aggregate number of claims received in 3 weeks. E Yi = b 0. g + b 0. 5g + b3 0. 4g + b4 05. g =. 5 E Yi = b 0. g + b4 0. 5g + b9 0. 4g + b6 05. g = 7. E Xb3g = = 65 Var Xb3g = = 4680 ProbmXb3g Zr = = Φb8. g R X 3 65 S U Prob 8. T V 4680 W Xb3g 7.7 Note: The formula for Var Xb3g took advantage of the frequency s being Poisson. The more general formula for the variance of a compound distribution, Var S = E N Var X + Var N E X, would give the same result. Question #3 Key: C 8 + θ = = 5. θ = 0. 5 θ > 0 so (C)

65 Question #3 Key: D No real issues with #. It matches the real survival process. # is never valid. Even if x = y, so that Prob (x dies first) = 0.50, the conditional future lifetime of x would not follow De Moivre.
