Section A
1) (a) Why is it necessary to model interest stochastically? How is a model of ‘stochastic interest’
developed? (b) Differentiate between the features of ‘classical and Bayesian analysis of
credibility theory’.

‘survival function’?
5) How is Lundberg Risk Model formulated? Suggest modifications therein so as to offer an
alternative to it.
6) State the Optional Stopping Theorem. What technique could be used to analyse the ‘collective
risk’?
