The annual aggregate claim amount of an insurer follows a compound Poisson distribution with
parameter 1,000. Individual claim amounts follow a Gamma distribution with shape parameter
a = 750 and rate parameter λ = 0.25.
1. Generate 20,000 simulated aggregate claim values for the insurer, using a random
number generator seed of 955.Display the first five simulated claim values in your
answer script using the R function head().
2. Plot the empirical density function of the simulated aggregate claim values from
Question 1, setting the x-axis range from 2,600,000 to 3,300,000 and the y-axis range
from 0 to 0.0000045.
3. Suggest a suitable distribution, including its parameters, that approximates the
simulated aggregate claim values from Question 1.
4. Generate 20,000 values from your suggested distribution in Question 3 using a random
number generator seed of 955. Use the R function head() to display the first five

Quality Control: A factory produces light bulbs with a 2% defect rate. If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems)
Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150)
Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied? (hint: One of the keyword in this question is “at least 8”, it is not “exactly 8”, the correct formula for this should be = 1- (binom.dist(7, 10, 0.7, TRUE)).

Let Y denote whether a subject convicted of murder received the death penalty (1=yes), for the defendant's race h (h1, black; h = 2, white), victim's race i (i = 1, black; i = 2, white), and number of additional factors j (j = 0, 1, 2).
