Hello all
I found this question rather interesting and very confusing, check it out
an insurance company classifies its customers as either high risk 5% of people, medium risk 25% of people, and low risk 70% of people. now the probability of a high risk customer making a claim in the first year is 75%, medium risk 45% and low risk is 5%, now if the companies prcocedure is to place new customers in high risk,and if they don't make a claim in first year then they will be placed into medium risk in the second year and if they don't make a claim in the second year then they will be placed into low risk.
firstly what is the probability of a customer going through this procedure if
actually he is a low risk customer.
secondly what is the probability of a customer going through this procedure if actually he is a high risk customer.
lastly would such a procedure be fair on customers?
I was only able to do the first bit, don't know if I am correct, please correct me if I am wrong
P(Procedure|low risk)=P(does not make claim&high risk)+
P(does not make claim&medium risk)=0.05*0.25+0.25*0.55=0.15
