Questions
An insurance company's cumulative incurred claims for the last 5 accident years are given
in the following table:
Development Year
Accident Year 0
2018

2020
265 283 292
2021
263 278
2022

It can be assumed that claims are fully run off after 4 years. The premiums received for
each year are:
Accident Year Premium

You do not need to make any allowance for inflation.
1. (a) Calculate the reserve at the end of 2022 using the basic chain ladder method.
(b) Calculate the reserve at the end of 2022 using the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method.
2. Comment on the differences in the reserves produced by the methods in Part 1.
A population that is uniformly distributed between a=0and b=10 is given in sample sizes
50( ),
100( ),
250( ),
and
500( ).
Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviations for the given data. Compare your results to the average of means for a sample of size 10, and use the empirical rules to analyze the sampling error. For each sample, also find the standard error of the mean using formula given below.
Standard Error of the
Mean =sigma/Root
Complete the following table with the results from the sampling experiment.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Sample Size
Average of 8 Sample Means
Standard Deviation of 8 Sample Means
Standard Error
50
100
250
500
A survey of
250250
young professionals found that
two dash thirdstwo-thirds
of them use their cell phones primarily for e-mail. Can you conclude statistically that the population proportion who use cell phones primarily for e-mail is less than
0.720.72?
Use a 95% confidence interval.
Question content area bottom
Part 1
The 95% confidence interval is
left bracket nothing comma nothing right bracket0.60820.6082, 0.72510.7251.
As
0.720.72
is
within the limits
of the confidence interval, we
cannot
conclude that the population proportion is less than
0.720.72.
(Use ascending order. Round to four decimal places as needed.)
