These
answer keys are meant to
assist students using Marcel B. Finan's A
Probability Course for the Actuaries.
With Dr. Finan's permission, Mr.
Stolyarov wrote solutions for the problems in his study guide and has
endeavored to make the answer keys to each section publicly available.
Do the
problems at the end of each section and then check your answers with
these
keys.
Dr.
Finan's study guide is an
excellent resource for those preparing to take Actuarial Exam P on
probability.
Problems
that require numerical
answers are answered here, but it is still the responsibility of the
student to
provide his or her own work for these problems. These answers are meant
to
enable students to independently verify the correctness of their
reasoning by
checking to see if the end result they obtained is correct. Questions
from the
study guide that require proofs or diagrams are not addressed here.
The
answers in this document are
current as of August 2008 and were previously published on Associated
Content /
Yahoo! Voices. The contents of A
Probability Course for the Actuaries
have
been greatly
expanded since that time, and some of the problem numbers have changed,
while
new sections have been added. While updates to these answer keys are
possible
in the future, Mr. Stolyarov’s priority in July 2014 has been to
republish the
existing answer keys within this PDF document, so as to preserve them
subsequent to the closure of Yahoo! Voices on July 30, 2014.
