You are given: q(x) = 0.02x - 1.19, x >= 60. Based on these values, what is the probability that (87) dies before age 90? (A) 92.07% (B) 81.50% (C) 18.50% (D) 11.42%

Step 1
Given q(x) = 0.02x - 1.19, x >= 60. To find the probability that a person dies before age 90, we need to find q(90). q(90) = 0.02(90) - 1.19 q(90) = 1.8 - 1.19 q(90) = 0.61 Therefore, the probability that a person dies before age 90 is 0.61 or 61%. Show more…

For a certain population, the time until death random variable T is an (approximate) exponential random variable with λ = 1/60. a) What is the probability that a member of this population will die by 50? b) What is the probability that a member of this population will live to be older than 100? c) What is the probability that a member will live to be at least 90, given that he/she is at least age 75?
