Consider a risk process which is characterised by three stochastic variables

(1) the number of accidents, N,

(2) the number of claims per accident, C, and

(3) the amount of a claim, X.

Let Y be a random variable denoting the total loss in a given period.

Suppose that

and

If Pr represents the probability that exactly r claims occur in the period, then Kupper [4] has shown on certain simplifying assumptions that

where , the probability of exactly r claims in n accidents, is given by

and for γ < n
