Answer to Question 1

Insurance reduces the risk any individual faces because insurance pools risks. Everyone pays into the pool but only the small fraction of people who suffer a loss are paid from the pool. Essentially people reduce the risk of a large adverse financial outcome in exchange for the small, certain payment to the insurance company.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
