Dipendra Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 In the world of helath, there is a lesser known statistical discipline called "actuarial science", which is the life-blood of the insurance industry, particularly in the United States. Its principal aim is to make predictions about the health and life expectancy of the insured, based upon a meticulous study of statistics. By carefully identifying and analyzing the patterns in these numbers, actuaries can quite accurately determine the profitability of insuring various people to varying degrees. With this in mind, an insurance company is less likey to insure someone who is considered to be in an "at risk" category, than someone who is deemed more "insurable". Q: Click on the sentence in Paragraph above that benefits insurance companies gain by analyzing actuaries. I think the answer is 2nd last line. "By carefully indentifying ....... varying degrees". However, the last line also seems to fit in. "With this in mind,..... more "insurable"". Please suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
