# Exam P Practice Problem 38 – Poisson Distribution

Problem 38-A

Two customers (Customer #1 and Customer #2) just purchased identical insurance coverage. The number of claims for each insured is assumed to follow a Poisson distribution with mean 1.5 per year. Assume that the number of claims for Customer #1 is independent of the number of claims for Customer #2.

What is the probability that in the coming year, Customer #1 will have exactly one claim and Customer #2 will have exactly two claims?

A prospective buyer of this jewelry store observes the business on a Wednesday for two one-hour periods (from 1 PM to 2 PM and 4 to 5 PM).

What is the probability that there will be 3 customers visiting from 1 PM to 2 PM and 5 customers visiting from 4 to 5 PM?

# Exam P Practice Problem 36 – Number of Claims

This post has no alternate problem. It has one problem with 2 parts.

Problem 36

A claim examiner of an insurer reviews the claim history of two independent insureds. Let $X$ be the annual number of claims of the first insured (Insured # 1). Let $Y$ be the annual number of claims of the second insured (Insured # 2). The claim examiner finds tht $X$ follows a Poisson distribution with mean 1, and that $Y$ follows a distribution with the following probability function.

$\displaystyle P(Y=y)=\frac{3!}{y! (3-y)!} \ \biggl(\frac{1}{3}\biggr)^y \ \biggl(\frac{2}{3}\biggr)^{3-y} \ \ \ \ \ \ y=0,1,2,3$
1. Between these two insureds, what is the probability that one of the insureds has two more claims than the other insured in a year?
2. Given that one of the insured has two more claims than the other insured, what is the probability that Insured # 1 has more claims than Insured # 2?
