    Probability of ruin at first claim is calculated with an application of double integral.
    X follows Exponential distrib.
    N follows Poisson distrib.

    occurance of a claim is thus a discrete Poisson distribution....I am not sure why are we using a couble continous integral in this case...

    :(

    Can't even find this exam. Link? Is it 103?

    Oh, its not. I think the Institute has removed the link to these exams. They used to have a different format, and it was called Statistics so even before the 100 series era.

    I will type in the content this evening, or copy paste as a picture.

    This is Q3.5 in CT6 Q&A Bank 3.

    September 2007 Q5 is a repeat of this question if it helps...

    It doesnt really help me, because I have an older edition of Q&A and I didn't find it...

    Actually the solution is now clear to me after doing a few more problems since last time....I only have one question regarding the solution given by the double integral -> why is the upper limit of the second integral set at THETA?

    Now, everything is clear after analyzing problem from 2007.
