Let X be a random variable representing the present value of the benefits of a whole of life assurance, and Y be a random variable representing the present value of the benefits of a temporary assurance with a term of a years. Both assurances have a sum assured of 1 payable at the end of the year of death and were issued to the same life aged x. (1) Describe the benefits provided by the contract which has a present value represented by the random variable X - Y. [1] (ii) Show that: cov(X, I) = ZAG - Ax And and hence or otherwise that: var(X - Y) = 'Ax -(m/4x)= _ 2Al where the functions A are determined using an interest rate of /, and functions 2 A are determined using an interest rate of i- + 2i.
