They are used to understand how to set insurance premiums.

Take, for example, car insurance.

The probability of a new driver getting in an accident is higher than an experienced driver.

The probability of a male driver getting in an accident is higher than an female driver (in general).

The probability of a person who has had many claims filing another claim is higher than someone who has never filed a claim.

All these data guide the insurance industry to charge higher premiums to drivers who are new, male or have filed claims in the past.
