Question on Chapter 23 Quiz - Occupation Risk factor

Number of replies: 3

I noticed a discrepancy in the online quiz and study manual.  

Study manual states:  Occupation has a direct bearing on both the probability of disability and the average severity of disability.  So, in the quiz, I picked Severity.  Per the quiz answer, it picked Length which I think is the same as Longevity.

Is the quiz answer incorrect?

Occupation is a very important factor in underwriting health insurance. It has a direct bearing on the probability of disability. The other consideration is the average _______ of disability.
Select one:
A. Length
B. Longevity
C. Severity Incorrect
D. Cost

Hey Marie,

Please advise the page number in the study manual for the  statement: Occupation has a direct bearing on both the probability of disability and the average severity of disability.  I am somehow overlooking it.  Thank you.

Hey Marie,

If the manual says severity then go with severity.  Obviously, the severity of a disability will have an impact on the length of the disability.  I hope this helps.

Kindest regards,

Jerry Bateman
