For a fully discrete whole life insurance of 100,000 on each of 10,000 indepen- dent lives age 60, you are given the following values from the life table, A60 = 0.36913,2 A60 = 0.17741, i = 0.06. Let π be the annual premium for each insurance policy. (a) Use the normal approximation, calculate π, such that the probability of a positive total loss is 1%, given Φ0.99 = 2.326. (b) Let L be the aggregate present value of future loss random variable at issue. Use the normal approximation, calculate P (L < −10, 000, 000).

None of these b. this non-zero value is accommodated by the bx term c. regression cannot be run d. regression is without a reasonable interpretation e. this non-zero value is incorporated into "Y"
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, the average airport wait time (time from arrival at the airport until the completion of security screening) at Chicago's O'Hare Inter- national airport is 32 minutes for a passenger arriving during the hours 4-5 PM. Assume the wait time is exponentially distributed so that p(t) = ke-kt for 0≤t<∞, where k is the reciprocal of the average wait time. Assume t is measured in minutes. 1. Sketch a labeled plot of the relevant pdf on the interval [0, 90] minutes (while remembering that it is defined for all t≥ 0.) 2. Set up integrals (you can write p(t) for the integrand) for the following probabilities: (a) Waiting longer than 60 minutes. (b) Waiting shorter than 30 minutes. (c) Waiting between 20 and 40 minutes. 3. Evaluate the probability that the waiting time is longer than 60 minutes (part 2(a) above) and convert to a percentage with two decimal places.

A researcher is interested in finding out how the past average daily values of the stock prices of a firm A determine the current average daily value of its stock price. Let pt ( measured in dollars) denote the average daily value of the stock price of firm A at time t. The researcher collects data on the average daily values of the stock prices of the last quarter of 2017, i.e., t = 1,2, dots,90 and estimates the following autoregressive model with 1 lag of pt: hat(p)t = 2.48 +.05pt.1bar (R)² = 0.512, SER = 13.14. (1.13) (0.64) The standard errors are given in parentheses. Suppose that the actual average daily value of the stock price on January 2, 2018 was $506.12 and the average daily value of the stock price on December 31, 2017 was $445.12. The forecast error in the estimation of the average daily value of the stock price on January 2, 2018 will be $ (Round your answer to two decimal places.) This is all the info in the question
A individual, with a utility function lnW and an initial wealth level W0, is faced with a fair gamble of winning or losing $h (where W0 > h > 0) with 50-50 chance. (a) Is this individual risk averse? Explain.(b) Suppose that the individual is willing to pay up to an amount of f in order to avoid such a gamble. Give the equation that determines f, and solve the equation for f (i.e., express f in terms of W0 and h). (c) Show that f increases as h increases.

In finance, one example of a derivative is a financial asset whose value is determined (derived) from a bundle of various assets, such as mortgages. Suppose a randomly selected mortgage in a certain bundle has a probability of 0.04 of default. Complete parts a to d below. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected mortgage will not default (that is, pay off)? The probability is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) (b) What is the probability that a bundle of five randomly selected mortgages will not default assuming the likelihood any one mortgage being paid off is independent of the others? Note: A derivative might be an investment that only pays when all five mortgages do not default. The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) What is the probability that the derivative from part (b) becomes worthless? That is, at least one of the mortgages defaults. The probability is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (d) In part (b), we made the…
