Quantitative Methods & Applications: BUS 200 Introduction To Risk Management and Insurance Fall 2008 Jin Park

Uploaded by

Mehak Ahluwalia

This document discusses quantitative methods and probability distributions used in risk management and insurance. It provides examples of how probability distributions can represent all possible outcomes of an event and their associated probabilities. It also defines key terms like mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation used to analyze probability distributions. The document then discusses how probability distributions are applied to calculate insurance premiums based on the expected loss, risk charge, and other loadings. It provides an example of using an event tree for probabilistic risk analysis.

Collectively exhaustive (events) Independent (events)

Probability Distribution

Measure of central tendency

Exercise 1

Article: Mom wins dream house


Number of tickets Chances of winning Price of a ticket Total proceeds Total payouts

Exercise 2

Article: Cadillac Escalade tops with car thieves.


Severity per insured Escalade Theft frequency Severity per theft

Insurance Premium

Gross premium
= Pure premium + Risk charge + Other loadings Pure premium = Expected Loss (EL)
= Expected Frequency x Expected Severity Estimated amount to pay for expected loss.

Risk charge (Risk loading)

Amount to cover the risk that actual loss may be higher than expected loss Expenses and profits

Other Loadings

Risk Charge (Risk Loading)

What determines the size/magnitude of the risk charge?

Amount of available past information to estimate EL The level of confidence in the estimated EL.

The number of loss exposures insured by the insurer The size of loss exposures

The higher the level of confidence in the estimated EL, the _____ the risk charge.

Risk charge for terrorism coverage would be _______ than that for personal automobile insurance.
