It's your probability of dying at those ages. The higher ages have lower probability because most people will have already died. In other words, the probability of dying at the age of 80 is conditional on the probability of surviving to the age of 80.



Exactly this. What's plotted is the chance of surviving to that age then dying.


Thanks.
