ABC Insurance Company plans to sell fire insurance in Kedah. ABC expects that eight buildings out of every 100, on average, will report claims each year. The variation between the loss that ABC expects to occur and the loss that actually occurs can be measured by range, variance, standard deviation or coefficient of variationA total loss to the car that could happen to a driver as a result of a collision is an example of pure risk.
