In a life table q_x= A) n_x/n₀ B) n₀/n_x C) d_x/n_x D) n_x/d_x E) n_x +n_x+1/2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct formula for $q_{x}$ in a life table, which represents the probability of death between ages x and x+n, is given by $q_{x} = \frac{d_{x}}{n_{x}}$, where $d_{x}$ is the number of deaths between ages x and x+n, and $n_{x}$ is the number of individuals alive at age x. Therefore, option C correctly represents this formula as $q_x = \frac{d_x}{n_x}$.
