In Example, we used the Life Table (see Appendix C)
to compute a conditional probability. The number 93,53 in the table, corresponding to 40-year-old males, means that of all the males born in the United States in 1950, 93.753\% were alive in 1990. Is it reasonable to use this as an estimate for the probability of a male, born this year, surviving to age 40?
