Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times. Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial.

RISK THEORY - LECTURE NOTES 1. INTRODUCTION The primary subject of Risk Theory is the development and study of mathematical and statistical models to describe and predict the behaviour of insurance portfolios‚ which are simply financial instruments composed of a (possibly quite large) number of individual policies. For the purposes of this course‚ we will define a policy as a random (or stochastic) process generating a deterministic income in the form of periodic premiums‚ and incurring financial

Exponential Distribution Introduction An electrical engineer who is in charge of an electrical wiring in a premise wants to know the number of faults in a given length of wire and also the distance between such faults. He can analyzed the number of faults using the Poisson distribution. The number of faults along the wire maybe shown to give rise to the exponential distribution as defined below: Definition The general formula for the probability density function of the exponential distribution

pdf of the population distribution is 1 + αx −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 2 f (x|α) = ‚ −1 ≤ α ≤ 1‚ 0 otherwise and the method of moments estimate was found to be α ˆ = 3X (where X is the sample mean of the random sample X1 ‚ . . . ‚ Xn ). In this problem‚ you will consider the sampling distribution of α ˆ. (a) Show that the estimate α ˆ is unbiased. (b) Find Var[ˆ α]. [Hint: What is Var[X]?] (b) Use the central limit theorem to deduce a normal approximation to the sampling distribution of α ˆ . According to
