Chapter 18.3, Problem 35E
Insured Loss An insurance policy is written to cover a loss, X, where X has a uniform distribution on [0, 1000]. At what level must a deductible be set in order for the expected payment to be 25% of what it would be with no deductible? Choose one of the following. (Hint: Use a variable, such as D, for the deductible. The payment is 0 if the loss is less than D, and the loss minus D if the loss is greater than D.) Source: Society of Actuaries.

A perishable dairy product is ordered daily at a particular supermarket. The product costs $1.16 per unit and sells for $1.75 per unit. If
units are unsold at the end of the day, the supplier takes them back at a rebate of $1 per unit. Assume that daily demand is
approximately normally distributed with = 150 and = 30.
(a) What is your recommended daily order quantity for the supermarket? (You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or
technology to answer this question. Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
Q* =
(b) What is the probability that the supermarket will sell all the units it orders? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
P(stockout) =
(c) In problems such as these, why would the supplier offer a rebate as high as $1? For example, why not offer a nominal rebate? Find
the recommended order quantity at 25¢ per unit. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
Q* =
What happens to the supermarket order quantity as the rebate is reduced?
