A policyholder has a two-year auto insurance for his new car.
Let X be the number of accidents that the policyholder experiences in one year.
You are given:
- Pr[X = 0] = 0.9
- Pr[X = 1] = 0.08
- Pr[X = 2] = 0.02
The number of accidents that the policyholder experiences in each year is independent.
Given that the policyholder experiences exactly 2 accidents in two years, find the probability that the policyholder experiences at least one accident in each of the two years.
Homework Answers
Given that the total number of accidents in 2 years is 2. This can happen in three ways: 0 accident in 1st year and 2 accidents in 2nd year, 2 accidents in 1st year and 0 accidents in second year, 1 accident in each year.
Hence,
P(Atleast one accident in each year | Total 2 accidents)
= P(1 Accident in each year | Total 2 accidents)
= 8/53
= 0.1509

This year, the number of accidents, X, at an amusement park has probability generating function PX (t) = e−0.2(1−t) , where defined. The amusement park owner’s insurance company reimburses up to a maximum of one accident this year. Let Y be the number of unreimbursed accidents. Determine the probability generating function, PY (t) , of the number of unreimbursed accidents at this amusement park this year, where defined.

The average number of car accidents at a busy intersection in a month is 7. Let X represent the number of car accidents in a given month. Find the probability that 4 car accidents take place at this busy intersection in the upcoming month, given that the requirements for the Poisson probability distribution are met.

2. An insurance company estimates that for each individual, the probability of a car accident occurring in a given year is 0.02. If an accident occurs, the amount of damage to the car is uniformly distributed on [2000, 4000]. What is the average loss that an insured experiences in a year? What is the variance?

7) Based on past records, the average number of two-car accidents in a New York City police precinct is 10.1 per day. What is the probability that there will be: a) at least fourteen such accidents on any given day? b) not more than seven such accidents on any given day? c) at least seven but not more than twelve such accidents on any given day? d) fewer than ten such accidents on any given day?

The number of accidents per week at a busy intersection was recorded for a year. There were 19 weeks with no accidents, 17 weeks with one accident, 9 weeks with two accidents, and 7 weeks with three accidents. A week is to be selected at random and the number of accidents noted. Let X be the outcome. Then X is a random variable taking on the values 0, 1, 2, and 3. (a) Write out a probability table for X...

2) [2096] Penguin auto insurance estimates that there exists a .23 probability that 16-year-old driving a red, two-door, 8-cylinder engine car will get into an accident that would cost the maximum amount in liability of $100,000. The annual premium for such a policy is $2,500. Q1) What is the expected profit per year for Penguin on such a policy? Q2) What profit must Penguin charge in order to make a profit on each policy? 3.120%) Recent research at Viking auto...

Romeo and Juliet decide to start a new business venture: JR Insurance Ltd. to insure people against damages from car accidents. They assume that car accidents resulting in claims occur according to a nonhomogeneous Poisson process at rate ? ? = 2? per month. As almost any other insurance policy; there is a stochastic delay between the time each accident occurs and the payment is made. These claims not yet paid are said to be “outstanding claims.” Suppose that these...
