Methods that insurers use to estimate future losses include:
I Frequency and severity analysis
II Regression analysis
A. I only
B. II only
C. Both I and II
D. Neither I nor II
| Frequency-severity method is a method used by insurers that uses | ||||||
| historical data to estimate the average number of claims and the | ||||||
| average cost of each claim. | ||||||
| The frequency-severity method multiplies the average number of | ||||||
| claims with the average cost of each claim to estimate future losses. | ||||||
| Regression analysis is a statistical analysis that determines | ||||||
| the relationship between 1 dependent variable | ||||||
| and either 1 or multiple independent variables. | ||||||
| There are two types of regression analysis, linear regression | ||||||
| and multiple regression. | ||||||
| Regression is used mostly in finance and investing. | ||||||

In a multiple regression model, when we interpret an estimate of a beta parameter, we often say, "in the presence of these predictors," or "controlling for these predictors," and then we proceed to naming the predictors. Why? I. because the predictors can affect the significance of the estimate II. because the predictors can affect the sign of the estimate III. because the predictors can affect the value of the estimate Group of answer choices a. I only b. III only...
