for all other places.
The Second Use of this Table, is, to shew the differing degrees of Mortality, or rather Vitality, in all Ages; for if the Number of Persons of any Age remaining after one Year, be divided by the difference between that and the number of the Age proposed, it shews the Odds that there is, that a Person of that Age does not die in a Year. As for Instance, a Person of 25 Years of Age has the Odds of 560 to 7, or 80 to 1, that he does not die in a Year: Because that of 567, living of 25 Years of Age, there do die no more than 7 in a Year, leaving 560 of 26 Years old.
So likewise for the Odds, that any Person does not die before he attain any proposed Age: Take the number of the remaining Persons of the Age proposed, and divide it by the difference between it and the number of those of the Age of the Party proposed; and that shews the Odds there is between the Chances of the Party's living or dying. As for Instance; What is the Odds that a Man of 40 lives 7 Years: Take the number of Persons of 47 Years, which in the Table is 377, and subtract it from the number of Persons of 40 Years, which is 445, and the difference is 68: Which shews that the Persons dying in that 7 Years, are 68, and that it is 377 to 68, or 5½ to 1, that a Man of 40 does live 7 Years. And the like for any other number of Years.
Use III. But if it be enquired at what number of Years , it is an even Lay that a Person of any Age shall die, this Table readily performs it; For if the number of Persons living of the Age proposed, be halfed , it will be found by the Table
