For an insurance policy loss $𝑋$, we define the cost per payment: $𝑌=𝛼𝑋+(1−𝛼)(𝑋−𝑑)+$, for $𝛼∈(0,1)$ and $𝑑>0$. Compute the cdf, pdf and mean of $𝑌$.

  • I think you have to mention how X Is distributed.

  • Any distribution. But if important we say X~EXP(λ)

  • So expanding what you write $Y=X-d(1-alpha)$, so the distribution of $Y$ is just the distribution of $X$ shifted but maybe I am not getting your question...
