SOA Exam P CAS Exam 1 Expected Value Variance Standard Deviation probability problems

Multiple Moment Generating Functions MGF example question

A company insures homes in three cities, J, K and L. Since sufficient distance separates the cities, it is reasonable to assume that the losses occurring in these cities are independent. The moment generating functions for the loss distributions of the cities are

Let X represent the combined losses from the three cities. Calculate  .

Standard Deviation Table example

A probability distribution of the claim sizes for an auto insurance policy is given in the table below:

Claim Size 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
Probability .15 .10 .06 .20 .10 .10 .30

What percentage of the claims are within one standard deviation of the mean claim size?

Variance word problem

A recent study indicates that the annual cost of maintaining and repairing a car in a town to Ontario averages 200 with a variance of 260. If a tax of 20% is introduced on all items associated with the maintenance and repair of cars (i.e., everything is made 20% more expensive), what will be the variance of the annual cost of maintaining and repairing a car?
