Hi,

I missed the answer to this one, if posted:

(23) For a multiple decrement model with two causes of decrement, you are
given the total force of decrement, mu^T(x+t) = 1/[100-(x+t)] and the
force of decrement due to the first cause, mu^1(x+t) = 1/100.
For (65), determine the probability of decrement due to the second cause.

If anyone has it, would you mind posting it back? I have a doubt on what
"probability of decrement due to 2nd cause" means. Do the problem asks
simply for
(2)
q 65

The probability that (65) will *decrement* during the following year due
to cause 2?

Thanx!
