urvivorship and

column B. This is the total number of people in your group upon which death took its toll

1. To calculate the # alive, place your total number of deaths in the first row (0-9) of

as they grew older.

2. Subtract the number who died in each age interval (column A) from the number who

were "alive" in your sample from the beginning of that age interval. Write this number in

the next row in column B. Repeat to fill out column

3. Calculate the survivorship - for each row in column C, divide the number in column B

by the TOTAL you found at the bottom of column A. This gives you the fraction of

people that survived to each age interval. By definition, the survivorship of the first age

interval equals 1.0 (all living newborns have survived to that point)
