Predicting future life expectancy using life tables

life tables are extremely important. They are not only used to find things like mortality rates, but to also find such rates at different intervals during the individual's life. Agencies, governments, and researchers are expectedly attracted to this knowledge.

The four different groups we researched were males that died before the year 1900, males that died after the year 1940, females that died before the year 1900, and females that died after the year 1940. I hypothesized that females that died after 1940 would experience the smallest mortality rates and the highest life expectancy rates, while males that died before 1900 will experience the greatest mortality rates at birth, with the lowest life expectancy rates.
