SOA Exam P Sample Question 560

Study guide: Exam P-1

Homeowner losses due to fire are exponentially distributed with mean 6.

Homeowners insurance policy A reimburses up to a maximum of m for a loss due to fire.

Homeowners insurance policy B, with a different premium, reimburses up to a maximum of m + 2 for a loss due to fire.

Let p_A be the probability that a loss due to fire is partially unreimbursed under policy A. Let p_B be the probability that a loss due to fire is partially unreimbursed under policy B.

Determine \dfrac{p_B}{p_A}.

  • A) e^{-12}
  • B) e^{-1/3}
  • C) \dfrac{1 - e^{-(m+2)/6}}{1 - e^{-m/6}}
  • D) \dfrac{1 - e^{-6m-12}}{1 - e^{-6m}}
  • E) \dfrac{m}{m+2}
