The question provided seems to involve calculating the rate of interest for an actuarial problem related to an endowment insurance policy. Let’s break down the information given in the image:

• A 20-year-old has an endowment insurance policy.
• The sum insured is 1 (assuming this is a unit or base sum insured, denoted as 1 in actuarial terms).
• $Z$ represents the present value random variable of the death benefits.
• It is given that the variance of $Z$, $\text{Var}(Z)$, is 0.05.
• The expected value of $Z$, $\mathbb{E}[Z]$, and the 20-year survival probability for the life aged 20 is \, _{20}p_x = 0.65.

The problem asks to calculate the rate of interest.

General Actuarial Setup:

• Present Value of Benefits: The present value of death benefits for a life insurance policy is typically discounted using the interest rate $i$, denoted $v = \frac{1}{1+i}$.
• Expected Present Value (EPV) and Variance: For the present value of death benefits, you would typically compute the EPV $\mathbb{E}[Z]$ and the variance $\text{Var}(Z)$.

Given the variance $\text{Var}(Z) = 0.05$ and the survival probability \, _{20}p_x = 0.65, we need to calculate the interest rate $i$.

Approach:

1. Formula for Expected Present Value (EPV): The EPV for an endowment insurance policy at age 20 is typically represented as:

   \mathbb{E}[Z] = A_{x} = \, _{20}A_x + \, _{20}p_x \cdot v^{20} Where:

   • $A_x$ is the EPV of death benefits.
   • $v = \frac{1}{1+i}$ is the discount factor.

2. Formula for Variance: The variance of $Z$, $\text{Var}(Z)$, is given by:

   \text{Var}(Z) = \, _{20}A_x - (\mathbb{E}[Z])^2

We will need to solve for $i$ using the given values for variance and the survival probability.

Let me calculate this for you.It seems the approach I used didn't yield a solution for the interest rate. The setup might need further refinement.

Let's reconsider the general formulas for endowment insurance and the relationship between the given variance, expected value, and survival probability to calculate the interest rate. I'll need to revisit the formulation of the present value and variance expressions.

I'll adjust the setup and proceed with another method to calculate the interest rate.Let's reevaluate the problem based on the given information.

We are provided:

• $\text{Var}(Z) = 0.05$,
• $_{20}p_x = 0.65$, which is the survival probability for 20 years,
• $Z$ is the present value of death benefits, and we are asked to calculate the rate of interest $i$.

I will adjust the approach by recalculating the present value formula and variance using a simpler method to derive the interest rate $i$. Let's compute this step-by-stepThe question involves calculating the rate of interest using the provided actuarial formulas for endowment insurance. Here's a recalibrated approach:

Key Points to Consider:

1. The present value $Z$ represents the present value of death benefits in an endowment policy.

2. We are given:

   • $\text{Var}(Z) = 0.05$ (variance of the present value).
   • $\mathbb{E}[Z]$ (expected value of the present value).
   • $_{20}p_x = 0.65$, which is the probability of surviving 20 years.

3. The formulas that can relate these quantities involve the actuarial notation of present value and discount factors.

Let me calculate the interest rate $i$ based on the given data.
