Remarks on Statistical Distribution of Intensity of Chance Damages

Actuaries of Polish National Insurance are in the happy position that they have at their disposal a wealth of complete statistics which permits study of the level of chance damage (the loss-rate) and its elements such as frequency of occurrence, spread, intensity, etc. This welcomed situation stems from the fact that in Poland there is general insurance in certain sectors of the national economy. For instance, in the case of cooperative and individual (private) farms the entire property (buildings, products, livestock, real estate and machines, household furniture, etc.) is insured according to uniform principles against all hazards--fire, winds, floods, hail, death of animals and others.
