Life Table

Question 1

Constant force of mortality assumption

Answer 1

Under constant force of mortality, the instantaneous rate of mortality is assumed to take the same value between consecutive integer ages. This enables us to calculate survival probabilities over non-integer time periods and from non-integer ages

Question 2

Uniform Distribution of Deaths assumption

Answer 2

the age at death of those who will die between curtate age x is uniformly distributed between the ages x andx+ 1.
