An insurance company supposes that each person has an accident parameter and that the yearly number of accidents of someone whose accident parameter is λ is Poisson distributed with mean λ. They also suppose that the parameter value of a newly insured person can be assumed to be the value of a gamma random variable with parameters s and α. (a) If a newly insured person has n accidents in her first year, find the conditional density of her accident parameter. (b) Also, determine the expected number of accidents that she will have in the following year.

A certain mutual fund invests in both U.S. and foreign markets. Let x a random variable that represents the monthly percentage return for the fund. Assume x has mean u = 1.9% and standard deviation o = 0.3%. (a) The fund has over 175 stocks that combine together to give the overall monthly percentage return x. We can consider the monthly return of the stocks in the fund to be a sample from the population of monthly returns of all world stocks. Then we see that the overall monthly return x for the fund is itself an average return computed using all 175 stocks in the fund. Why would this indicate that x has an approximately normal distribution? Explain. Hint: See the discussion after Theorem 6.2. The random variable -Select-v is a mean of a sample size n = 175. By the -Select- v, the -Select- distribution is approximately normal. (b) After 6 months, what is the probability that thẹ average monthly percentage return x will be between 1% and 2%? Hint: See Theorem 6.1, and assume that x has…
