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.
