Medical care and compensation costs for workers injured on the job vary a lot and are strongly skewed as a whole. The National Academy of Social Insurance reports that the mean worker's compensation claim cost in a year is $439 per insured worker, with a standard deviation of $20,000. The law of large numbers says that: a) an insurance company can get an average workers' compensation cost lower than the mean by insuring a large number of people. b) as a company insures more and more workers chosen at random, the average cost gets closer to $439. c) if a company insures a large number of workers chosen at random, that company's average claim cost will have approximately a normal distribution. d) as a company insures more and more workers chosen at random, the average claim cost diverges even more from $439.
