| Abstract: | Abstract Let us consider a group of n lives which are observed during some time or age interval. Suppose that the following conditions are satisfied: 1. The probability of death within the interval considered has the same value q for each person of the group. 2. These lives represent statistically independent observations (with respect to mortality). |
