Prob[1 claim bad] = 0.1 e -0.1 = 0.09048. By Bayes Theorem, the probability that an insured that had one claim in year one is good is: Prob[Good] Prob[1 claim Good] Prob[Good] Prob[1 claim Good] + Prob[Bad] Prob[1 claim Bad] = (2 / 3)(0.04756) (2 / 3)(0.04756) + (1/ 3)(0.09048) = 51.25%. By Bayes Theorem, the probability that an insured that had one claim in year one is bad is: (1/ 3)(0.09048) = 48.75% = 1-51.25%. (2 / 3)(0.04756) + (1/ 3)(0.09048) Prob[2 claims good] = 0.05 2 e -0.05 /2 = 0.001189. Prob[2 claims bad] = 0.1 2 e -0.1 /2 = 0.004524. Therefore, this insuredʼs probability of having 2 claims in year 2 is: (51.25%)(0.001189) + (48.75%)(0.004524) = 0.281%.
