AINS 21 Exam Questions and Answers –
Updated 2024

What is insurance? - Answer✔✔-It's a transfer system, business, and contract.


What is a transfer system in insurance? - Answer✔✔-One party (the insured), transfers the risk

of financial loss to another party (the insurer). [Essentially, I'm giving the risk of financial loss to

someone else so that I can keep my financial standing.]


What are covered losses? - Answer✔✔-These are costs that insurers pay for and are in the

contract that both parties agree to in the beginning (wind damage, car accident, etc). The costs

vary on what coverage one purchases.


What are premiums? - Answer✔✔-Periodic payments from the insured to the insurer to protect

them from potential costs.


What does transferring the risk allow? - Answer✔✔-This allows the insured to give periodic

payments (premiums) to the insurer to protect them from those potential costs and remain in

good financial standing.


What is "sharing the premiums?" - Answer✔✔-This technique allows the insurer to put all their

premiums into a pool paid by their insured customers. This allows them to dip into this pool of

paid premiums to cover a single claim (thus, the more paying customers, the better).

What is a loss exposure? - Answer✔✔-This is any condition or situation that presents the

*possibility* of a loss.


What is a common loss exposure that every home has? - Answer✔✔-Fire exposure, because

every home has electricity in it (unless there is an exception).


What is the law of large numbers? - Answer✔✔-The law states: as long as the number of similar

but independent exposure units increases, the relative accuracy of predictions about future

losses based on these exposure units also increases.


How is the law of large numbers applied to insurance? - Answer✔✔-Houses and cars are similar

exposure units (things that are insured), but are independent because they are not subject to

the same event. For example: a homeowner is uncertain whether a fire will damage his or her

home and transfers this uncertainty to an insurance company. The insurance company insures

thousands of homes whose owners face the same uncertainty! Because they insure such a large

number of homes like this one, they can predict with a better deal of accuracy the number of

homes that actually will be damaged by fire! That will allow them to determine the amount of

premiums that it needs to pay for the fire losses during that period.


What are the three major types of loss exposures? - Answer✔✔-1) Property 2) Liability 3)

Human/Personal and personnel.


What is a property loss exposure? - Answer✔✔-This is a possibility of some property being lost

in an accident.


What is real property? - Answer✔✔-Land or any property attached to it.

considered real property.


What is personal property? - Answer✔✔-Anything that is not real property.


What is an example of personal property? - Answer✔✔-A car, computer, TV, clothes, furniture,

on a lot. These are not stationary.


What is a liability loss exposure? - Answer✔✔-This is any condition or situation that presents

the possibility that a liability loss will occur.


What is a liability loss exposure? - Answer✔✔-This is a claim for monetary damages because of

injury to another party or damage to another party's property. The possibility of a claim alleging

legal responsibility of a person or business for injury or damage suffered by another party.

because of death, disability or unemployment.
