Abstract

Abstract Generally in the theory of risk one starts from the two fundamental assumptions that the basic-probabilities are constant and that the deviations occurring may be interpreted as random fluctuations. Thus, the theory of risk appears as an application of the ordinary probability-theory, which starts from the binomial distribution and leads to the distributions of Poisson and Gauss.
