Step 1
For the complete insurance of Example 1.3.4, the cost is 40. Let's assume that the property owner's utility function is U(x) = x^2, where x represents the property owner's wealth. The property owner's wealth can either increase by 100 (if there is no loss) or Show more…

1. An insurance company wants to make sure that its best customers (those with low claims) stay with the company. To achieve this, they plan to offer a 10% discount on the annual health insurance premium for those members having the lowest 20% of yearly health care expenses. If the average annual health care for a family of 4 is $3700 with a standard deviation of $485, what is the maximum health care expense that will qualify for the discount?

A life insurance salesman finds that, of all the sales he makes, $70 \%$ are to people who already own policies. He also finds that, of all contacts for which no sale is made, $50 \%$ already own life insurance policies. Furthermore, $40 \%$ of all contacts result in sales. What is the probability that a sale will be made to a contact who already owns a policy?
Insured Loss An insurance policy is written to cover a loss, $X,$ where $X$ has a uniform distribution on $[0,1000] .$ At what level must a deductible be set in order for the expected payment to be 25$\%$ of what it would be with no deductible? Choose one of the following. (Hint: Use a variable, such as $D,$ for the deductible. The payment is 0 if the loss is less than $D,$ and the loss minus $D$ if the loss is greater than $D .$ Source: Society of Actuaries. (a) 250 (b) 375$\quad$ (c) 500 (d) 625 (e) 750
