Jacob, non Hispanic white male. 30 years old.

Probability that Jacob lives to be 30 years old.

Since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, I think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. We will use the probability of non Hispanic white male.

Probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
