Question

Suppose that Carl and Susan are newborn infants randomly selected from the general population. You are analyzing some probabilities as part of the process of writing life insurance policies for each of them. Consider these two events: Event A: Carl eventually turns 44 years old. Event B: Susan eventually turns 44 years old. Question 1 Compute the probability of the infant Carl turning 44 years old (event A) and the probability of the infant Susan turning 44 years old (event B).

Answer 1

Explanation:

A=95,726/100000=0.95726

B is the same

Answer 2

0.95726 for both

Explanation:

From table 1, the number of newborns surviving to age 44 is 95,726.

The probability of event A is : 95726/100000 = 0.95726

The probability of event B is : 95726/100000 = 0.95726
