A life table is a table that lists for a
given number of births the estimated number of people who will live to a given age. In Appendix C we give a life table based upon 100,00 births for ages from 0 to 85, both for women and for men. Show how from this table you can estimate the probability [math]m(x)[/math] that a person born in 1981 would live to age [math]x[/math]. Write a program to plot [math]m(x)[/math] both for men and for women, and comment on the differences that you see in the two cases.
