Answer: B

Since [math]S_{0}(t)=1-F_{0}(t)=\left(1-\frac{t}{\omega}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}[/math], we have [math]\ln \left[S_{0}(t)\right]=\frac{1}{4} \ln \left[\frac{\omega-t}{\omega}\right][/math].

Then [math]\mu_{t}=-\frac{d}{d t} \log S_{0}(t)=\frac{1}{4} \frac{1}{\omega-t}[/math], and [math]\mu_{65}=\frac{1}{180}=\frac{1}{4} \frac{1}{\omega-65} \Rightarrow \omega=110[/math].

[math]e_{106}=\sum_{t=1}^{3}{ }_{t} p_{106}[/math], since [math]{ }_{4} p_{106}=0[/math]

[math]{ }_{t} p_{106}=\frac{S_{0}(106+t)}{S_{0}(106)}=\frac{\left(1-\frac{106+t}{110}\right)^{1 / 4}}{\left(1-\frac{106}{110}\right)^{1 / 4}}=\left(\frac{4-t}{4}\right)^{1 / 4}[/math]

[math]e_{106}=\sum_{i=1}^{i=4}{ }_{t} p_{106}=\frac{1}{4^{0.25}}\left(1^{0.25}+2^{0.25}+3^{0.25}\right)=2.4786[/math]
