CAS Exam MAS-I Fall 2018, Question 26

Study guide: Exam MAS-I

You are given the following information from a model constructed to predict the probability that a Homeowners policy will be retained into the next policy term:

Response variable retention
Response distribution binomial
Link probit
Pseudo R^2 0.6521
Parameter df \hat\beta
Intercept 1 0.4270
Tenure: < 5 years 0 0.0000
Tenure: \ge 5 years 1 0.1320
Prior Rate Change: < 0% 1 0.0160
Prior Rate Change: [0%, 10%] 0 0.0000
Prior Rate Change: > 10% 1 -0.0920
Amount of Insurance (000's) 1 0.0015

Let \hat\pi be the modeled probability that a policy with 4 years of tenure who experienced a +12% prior rate change and has 225,000 in amount of insurance will be retained into the next policy term.

Calculate \hat\pi.

  • A) Less than 0.60
  • B) At least 0.60, but less than 0.70
  • C) At least 0.70, but less than 0.80
  • D) At least 0.80, but less than 0.90
  • E) At least 0.90
