The “00” Series tables are described as giving mortality rates applicable to the calendar year 2000 – but at what exact point in 2000 do they apply?
For the “00” Series tables, the value of qx applies on average to a life attaining age x in the middle (i.e. midnight between 30 June and 1 July) of 2000 and gives the probability of death before attainment of age x+1 in the middle of 2001. The ‘base’ year for these tables is thus 2000. Similar comments apply to the “92” Series (mid-1992 to mid-1993) and the “80” Series (mid-1980 to mid-1981).
