This question is as clear as mud. Maybe the insurers just have a really good crystal ball to predict the future.

Insurance is all about spreading the risk, not just making a quick buck. I think the answer has to be B) False.

That makes sense. It wouldn't be fair if insurance companies always made a profit without providing coverage. B) False seems like the right choice.

I think you're right. Insurance companies wouldn't stay in business if they always paid out less than they collected in premiums. B) False is the correct answer.

This question is a piece of cake! Of course, the insurers are in it for the money, not to lose it.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Insurers do make a profit, so the premiums can't always be less than the estimated loss, right?

But wouldn't that mean the premiums are always less than the estimated loss? I'm not sure.

I think the estimated value of loss being greater than the total premiums is a key principle of insurance, so I'll go with A) True.
