Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A life table is a table that shows data on the survival and mortality of individuals over time. It lists items such as age, observed number of organisms alive each year, and life expectancy. Mortality tables and survivorship tables are also related concepts, but they focus specifically on death rates and the proportion of individuals surviving at different ages, respectively. Rate tables and insurance tables are not specific to the study of population dynamics and survival rates.
