Question:

An insurance company's losses of a particular type are to a reasonable approximation normally distributed with a mean of $150 million and a standard deviation of $50 million.

(a) A contract that will pay in 1 year's time 60% of the insurance company's costs on a pro rata basis

(b) A contract that pays $100 million in 1 year's time if losses exceed $200 million.
