section 4 Why the situation involving discrete distribution introduces the difficulty of probabilities not being exactly 0.95? Also pls explain how we inverted inequalities to get result as given on page no.14.
If we have a simple distribution that P(X=1)=0.2 P(X=2)=0.5 P(X=3)=0.3 and I say find x such that \(P(X \leq x) = 0.95\) you'll see the problem. To be honest, the Core Reading is very confusing and it's much easier to just look at the example on the next page instead - as that is what will be needed in the exam.
If the Core Reading is confusing, has any thought been given to trying to reword it or refer to the example on the next page?
If students write to the examinations team and make suggestions then the Profession will make changes.
Not a problem. You can email examinations@actuaries.org.uk I think it's always helpful to offer an improvement, ie a rewritten paragraph.
