Answer:

(7).

Given that,

\rightarrow The insurance company has a cohort of policyholders, 70% of whom are non-smokers and 30% of whom are smokers.

\rightarrow For the fixed age x, the insurance company's model for mortality has qxNS =qx+1NS=0.15 (non-smoker) and qxS=qx+1S=0.25 (smoker).

(a).

\rightarrow A policyholder is chosen at random from the cohort.

1qx=0.7\times qxNS+0.3 \times qxS [ I am assuming 1qx mean probability of policyholder dying within 1 year from age % I don't understand why they have mentioned 1 before q, if not necessary].

=0.7 \times 0.15+0.3 \times 0.25

=0.105+0.075

=0.18

q(x+1)=0.7 \times qx+1NS+0.3 \times qx+1S

=0.7 \times 0.15+0.3 \times 0.25

=0.18

(b).

\rightarrow Suppose that both non-smoker and smoker mortality follow UDD in each year of age.

Under assumption of UDD.

* Th=5+en

Hence, Mr+0.2 =0.18 | (1-0.2 \times 0.18) |

=0.1867

(8).

\rightarrow Suppose that i=0.04 and J125++ = 0.02 for all t \geq 0.

\rightarrow We know that Z1 is the discrete PVRV for a 20-year term endownment insurance on (25) and Z2 is the discrete PVRV for a 20-year deferred, 10-year term insurance also on (25).

Z1= Vt , t< 20

=V25, t \geq 20

Z2=0, t<20

= Vt , 20 \leq t < 30

=0 ,   t \geq 30

Z1+Z2 = Vt , t<20

= Vt +V25, 20 \leq t < 30

=V25 , t \geq 30

We can split this as

Y1=Vt , t<30

=0 , t \geq 30

Y2=0 , t<20

=V25 ,t \geq 20

Z1+Z2=Y1+ Y2

V(Z1+Z2)=V(Y1+ Y2)

=V(Y1) [Y2 is constant and Y1 is term assurance with term 30 years and age 25).

Now the variance of term assurance is given by, PAME(AM)? which can be found from actorial talxes.

(9).

Given ,

A1 1:ñ = 0.35 , 400 = 9 and Mitt = 0.04 for all t.

EPV[ expected present value ] for term assurance=0.35.

EPV for endourment assurance =EPV for term assurance+Vnn\times nPx

Where V=(1+i)(-1)=exp(-delta \times n),nPx=exp(-uKn)

EPV for endourment assurance=0.35+e(-0.05 \times n)  \times e(-0.04\timesn)

=0.35+e(-0.09 \times n)

The final answer depends on n.

    Lung Cancer & Smoking Case Study A causal relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was first suspected in the 1920s on the basis of clinical observations. To test this apparent association, numerous epidemiologic studies were undertaken between 1930 and 1960. Two studies were conducted by Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill in Great Britain The first was a case-control study begun in 1947 comparing the smoking habits of lung cancer patients with the smoking habits of other patients.
