The CASE clause is used to return one of many choices.  Based on this 
example, you need to do this:

select numberOfPremiumDays,
        product_id,
        price
        from product
where occupation_type_id = 1
   and  numberOfPremiumDays = date_part('day', ('2018-11-05'::timestamp) - 
('2018-11-01'::timestamp))
group by product_id, occupation_type_id
