1 May 001 Course 3 **BEGINNING OF EXAMINATION** 1. For a given life age 30, it is estimated that an impact of a medical breakthrough will be an increase of 4 years in e o 30, the complete expectation of life. Prior to the medical breakthrough, s(x) followed de Moivre s law with ω =100 as the limiting age.
