Vitterfun, thanks for posting that information regarding percentages it was VERY informative!!!
so just to be clear with the numbers,
I have approx. a 3 in 10000 chance (using the probability figures you gave me) of having a claim OVER $200K claim?
No problem. Here are the probability figures again:
Probability of Bodily Injury claim exceeding $100K: 0.034%
Probability of Bodily Injury claim exceeding $200K: 0.016%
Probability of Bodily Injury claim exceeding $500K: 0.005%
Probability of Accident Benefits claim exceeding $100K: 0.031%
Probability of Accident Benefits claim exceeding $200K: 0.014%
Probability of Accident Benefits claim exceeding $500K: 0.005%
I think you were trying to add the 0.016% and 0.014% figures together, which is actually the probability that
either one
or both of BI and AB exceeds $200K. Some examples of this:
BI = $205,000 and AB = $5,000
BI = $5,000 and AB = $205,000
BI = $0 and AB = $500,000
etc.
I think you thought you were calculating the probability that the SUM of BI and AB losses exceeds $200K. Some examples of this:
BI = $100,000 and AB = $105,000
BI = $75,000 and AB = $180,000
And also any of the examples above . . .
BI = $205,000 and AB = $5,000
BI = $5,000 and AB = $205,000
BI = $0 and AB = $500,000
This probability would be much higher than 3 in 10,000 but unfortunately I can't calculate the probability with this data alone.
Cheers!
