10. The following table is a modern version of a life table, which was first developed by John Graunt in 1662. It gives the probabilities that a newly born member of a certain specified group will die in his or her ith decade of life, for i ranging from 1 to 10. The first decade starts with birth and ends with an individual's 10th birthday. The second decade starts at age 10 and ends at the 20th birthday, and so on. Life Table Probability Probability of death Decade of death Decade 0.062 0.124 0012 7 0.215 0.024 0.271 0033 0.169 0.063 10 0.028 For example, the probability that a newborn child dies in her or his fifties is 0.124. Find the probability that a newborn will (a) Die between the ages of 30 and 60 (b) Not survive to age 40 (c) Survive to age 80
