    In exam style question 1 on page 25 , I had a doubt in parts (III) and (iv) .
    I solved it in a different way, without making use of size(u). (Attached image)
    I didn't understand how and why to use size (u) for finding out MGF.
    Also, I want to know whether my method is correct or not for this question.

    Thanks! IMG_20170818_114816.jpg

    You have used a binomial to model the amount of a claim - so you can only have 0 or 1. Whereas the actual claim is random and takes average value of \(\mu\).
