Jim is a 60-year-old Anglo male in reasonably good health. He wants to take out a $50,000 term (that is, straight death benefit) life insurance policy until he is 65. The policy will expire on his 65th birthday. The probability of death in a given year is provided by the Vital Statistics Section of the Statistical Abstract of the United States (116th Edition).
| x = age | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 |
| P(death at this age) | 0.01030 | 0.01357 | 0.01609 | 0.01981 | 0.02362 |
