Hazard Insurance, Statistics, and Decision-Making
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the key factor underlying the role of hazard insurance -- the probable nature of risk prediction. Such prediction comprises a combination of hazard, vulnerability and exposure. As data becomes more precise, predictability is also improved. As predictability improves, overall costs are reduced since there is a greater degree of awareness of what may take place and allows for greater preparation on the part of those who may be affected. In general, that predictability is based on statistical occurrence and what those statistics tell about eventualities of a situation. Statistical probability serves as the foundation upon which decisions are made in the hazard insurance business. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
