Develop and interpret a life table, given data. One thousand two hundred and five (1,205) persons, who were accidentally exposed to a large-dose gamma-radiation leak

Develop and interpret a life table, given data.

One thousand two hundred and five (1,205) persons, who were accidentally exposed to a large-dose gamma-radiation leak on December 1, 2019, were followed for a year and their mortality experience was recorded monthly (as at month-end). Some were lost to follow-up during this time period and the whereabouts and outcome of these persons is unknown. The table below lists the monthly-recorded deaths and "withdrawals".

Please tabulate the data in an appropriate format (a life table) and answer the following questions based on your calculations:

I encourage you to check your calculations for the Life Table and ensure you are accounting for all columns and that you are correctly following the equations for each column. And pay close attention to total exposed vs effective number exposed. I would also encourage you to double-check cumulative survival (surviving until).

  1. Create life table (see table 6.9 on page 133 of Gordis for a good example)(10 points)
  2. What was the probability of dying during the month of August, 2020?(4 points)
  3. What was the probability of surviving until the end of October, 2020?(4 points)
  4. Which month exhibited the highest levels of survival (probability of surviving the month)?(4 points)
