Learn to solve probability problems involving sums of independent random variables in this comprehensive video lesson designed for SOA Exam P preparation. Master techniques for calculating probabilities with linear combinations of independent normal random variables, understand how Poisson and Normal distributions behave when summed or differenced, and work through practical examples involving refrigerator lifespans and hurricane damage calculations. Apply these concepts through three detailed example problems that demonstrate the properties of Poisson distributions with mean calculations, normal distributions with standard deviations, and compound Poisson processes involving exponential losses.
