Question
According to recent data the survival function for life after 63 is approximately given by
S(x) = 1-0.052x-0.078x²
where x is measured in decades. This function gives the probability that an individual who reaches the age of 63 will live at least x decades (10x
years), longer.
a. Find the median length of life for people who reach 63, that is, the age for which the survival rate is 0.50.
ye
