- risk - -a calculated possibility of a negative outcome
- calculated possibility - -a probabilistic outcome that is known/established

0/0% = impossible.. no risk
.5/50% = highest risk.. most uncertainty
1/100% = certain event.. no risk
- negative outcome - -loss, must be quantifiable ($$$)
- negative outcome example - -Your house burns down. Your house, clothes,
appliances, and furniture are quantifiable (you can approximate how much
they are worth). Pictures (memories) are not quantifiable
- frequency - -how often a loss occurs
the number of losses that occur within a specific time period
probability of a loss
- severity - -how much it costs when a loss occurs
the dollar amount of loss for a specific peril
- frequency formula - -number of losses / number of exposures
- severity formula - -total losses ($) / number of losses
- peril - -cause of loss
ex: fire, tornado, burglary
, - hazard - -condition that creates or increases the frequency/severity of a
loss
does NOT cause a loss
- types of hazards - -physical, moral, morale (attitudinal), legal
- physical hazard - -a physical condition that increases the

- moral hazard - -the presence of insurance changes the behavior of the

- pure vs speculative risk - -pure risk has two future states: loss and no loss

ex: investment, gambling, drinking
- can you buy insurance for pure risks - -yes
- can you buy insurance for speculative risks - -no

economy
can be reduced/eliminated thru diversification
risks are not correlated (fire, theft, collision)
- nondiversifiable risk - -affects the entire economy or a large number of
people within the economy
cannot be reduced/eliminated through diversification
government assistance may be needed to insure
