Hence,
Tx = T = future lifetime
Kx = K = curtate-future-lifetime
so T = K + S, S ∈ (0, 1)
Now, S represents the fractional part of a year lived in the year of death.
If Pr(S ≤ s|K = k) = H(s) (some function not depending on k) for all k, then by the
law of total probability,

X
Pr(S ≤ s) = Pr(S ≤ s|K = k) Pr(K = k)

Example 8. A life aged 50 is subject to an extra hazard during the year of age 50
to 51. If the standard probability of death from age 50 to 51 is 0.006, and if the extra
risk may be expressed by an addition to the standard force of mortality that decreases
uniformly from 0.03 at the beginning of the year to 0 at the end of the year, calculate
the probability that the life will survive to age 51.
Soln: Let µ50+t be the standard force of mortality and let µ00 (50 + t) be the force of
mortality with extra risk. Then, µ00 (50 + t) = µ50+t + 0.03(1 − t). Denote the standard
probability of survival by p50 and the probability of survival with extra risk by p050 . The
probability that the life aged 50 with an extra hazard will survive to age 51 is

Select and Ultimate Tables
Then, the underwriter examines this information to see if the risk in insuring the applicant
is appropriate for the life table used in pricing.
Without this evaluation, people would postpone buying life insurance until they con-
tracted a fatal disease or reached old age (higher chance to have early claims).
In the notation q[x]+t , [x] represents the age at selection and t is the duration since
selection.
The impact of selection may diminish with respect to time following selection. It leads
to a set of select and ultimate tables.
q[x−j]+r+j ∼
= q[x]+r , 0 ≤ j ≤ x.
Then, such an r is called the select period. Beyond the select period, the probabilities of
death are subscripted by the attained age only, that is, q[x−j]+r+j (for j ≥ 0) is written
as qx+r . For example, with r = 15, q[30]+15 and q[25]+20 would both be written as q45 .
A life table in which the functions are given only for the attained ages is called an
aggregate table. The last column in a select-and-ultimate table is a special aggregate
table that is usually referred to as an ultimate table, to reflect the select table setting.
