The unlimited severity distribution for claim amounts under an auto liability insurance policy is given by the cumulative distribution:

[[math]] F(x) = 1-0.8e^{-0.02x} - 0.2e^{-0.001x}, \, x \geq 0 [[/math]]

The insurance policy pays amounts up to a limit of 1000 per claim.

Calculate the expected payment under this policy for one claim.

An insurance company sells a policy with a linearly disappearing deductible such that no payment is made on a claim of 250 or less and full payment is made on a claim of 1000 or more.

Calculate the payment made by the insurance company for a loss of 700.

You are given the following loss data:

Size of Loss Number of Claims Ground-Up Total Losses
0 – 99 1100 58,500
100 – 249 400 70,000
250 – 499 300 120,000
500 – 999 200 150,000
> 999 100 200,000
Total 2100 598,500

Loss amounts have the distribution function

[[math]] F(x) = \begin{cases} (x/100)^2, \, 0 \leq x \leq 100 \\ 1, \, x\gt 100 \end{cases} [[/math]]

An insurance policy pays 80% of the amount of the loss in excess of an ordinary deductible of 20, subject to a maximum payment of 60 per loss.

Calculate the conditional expected claim payment, given that a payment has been made.

The random variable [math]X[/math] represents the random loss, before any deductible is applied, covered by an insurance policy. The probability density function of [math]X[/math] is

[[math]] f(x) = 2x, \, 0 \lt x \lt 1. [[/math]]

Payments are made subject to a deductible, [math]d[/math], where 0 < [math]d[/math] < 1.

The probability that a claim payment is less than 0.5 is equal to 0.64.

Calculate the value of [math]d[/math].

You are given the following information about a homeowners insurance policy:

  1. The deductible is 400 for claims up to 500.
  2. For claims of 500 or more, the deductible disappears linearly, until completely disappearing for claims of 2100 and beyond.
  3. There is no policy limit.

The policyholder submits a claim of X and receives a payment of 0.6X.

Calculate X.
