Using the ELT16 life table, calculate the deferred probability of death for a newborn n|1q0 for each value of n . Given this calculation, at which future age is an individual who has just been born most likely to die?
To calculate the deferred probability of death for a newborn, you need a life table, in this case the ELT16 life table. The ELT16 life table provides age-specific mortality rates and survival probabilities for a given population.
To find the deferred probability of death for a newborn, you can use the following formula:
n|1q0 = l0 / l1
Where:
- n|1q0 represents the deferred probability of death from age 0 to age n
- l0 represents the number of survivors at age 0 (in this case, the number of newborns)
- l1 represents the number of survivors at age 1
You can find the required values in the ELT16 life table. Look for the values of l0 and l1 corresponding to age 0 and age 1.
Once you have calculated the deferred probability of death (n|1q0) for each value of n, you can determine at which future age an individual who has just been born is most likely to die.
To do this, compare the deferred probabilities of death for different values of n. The highest deferred probability of death will indicate the age at which an individual who has just been born is most likely to die.
Please note that the specific life table values and calculations may vary based on the ELT16 life table you are using, so make sure to refer to the appropriate source for accurate data.
