NOTES Questions and parts of some solutions have been taken from material copyrighted by the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries. They are reproduced in this study manual with the permission of the CAS and SOA solely to aid students studying for the actuarial exams. Some editing of questions has been done. Students may also request past exams directly from both societies. We are very grateful to these organizations for their cooperation and permission to use this material. They are, of course, in no way responsible for the structure or accuracy of the manual. Exam questions are identified by numbers in parentheses at the end of each question. CAS questions have four numbers separated by hyphens: the year of the exam, the number of the exam, the number of the question, and the points assigned. SOA or joint exam questions usually lack the number for points assigned. W indicates a written answer question; for questions of this type, the number of points assigned are also given. A indicates a question from the afternoon part of an exam. MC indicates that a multiple choice question has been converted into a true/false question. Although we have made a conscientious effort to eliminate mistakes and incorrect answers, we are certain some remain. We are very grateful to students who discovered errors in the past and encourage those of you who find others to bring them to my attention. Please check our web site for corrections subsequent to publication. Survival Models 1 PAST CAS AND SOA EXAMINATION QUESTIONS ON SURVIVAL A. Time of Death for a Person Aged x A1. The lx column of a mortality table is calculated by the formula: lx = 1000000 100x2 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 100. It is desired to know the probability that a life now age 10 will survive 30 years and then die within the ensuing ten years. In which of the following ranges does this probability lie? B. ≥ .075 but < .085 A. < .075 (80S–4–39) A2. C. ≥ .085 but < .095 D. ≥ .095 but < .105 E. ≥ .105 The following mortality table is applied to a certain population. Age lx 0 1 2 3 4 5 1,000 960 918 874 828 779 dx Age x 40 42 44 46 49 51 6 7 8 9 10 lx dx 728 674 618 559 497 54 56 59 62 64 After several years, the table is revised to reflect the fact that mortality has increased at ages 5 and above such that only 716 lives reach age 6. However, the probability that a life age 2 will die between ages 6 and 7 is unchanged by the mortality increase. In which of the following ranges is the number of lives reaching age 7 under the revised table? A. < 600 A3. B. ≥ 600 but < 620 C. ≥ 620 but < 640 D. ≥ 640 but < 660 E. ≥ 660 (81S–4–14) A survival function is defined by: s(x) = 1 x/250 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 25 s(x) = (1.2)(1 x/100) for 25 < x ≤ 100 In which of the following ranges is the probability that a survivor age 10 will die between the ages 40 and 60?
