Example 2.19. Consider men who need to undergo a complicated surgery. The probability that they will survive for a year following surgery is only 50%. If they do survive for a year, then they are fully cured and their future mortality follows the pattern of general population. Suppose that for the general population, we have l60 = 89, 777, l61 89, 015, and l70 = 77, 946. Calculate probabilities that (1) a man aged 60 who is just about to have surgery will be alive at age 70, (2) a man aged 60 who had surgery at age 59 will be alive at age 70.
