An employer recruits lives aged exactly 20, all of whom are healthy whenrecruited. On entry, the lives join a scheme that pays a lump sum of ￡50,000immediately on death, with an additional ￡25,000 if the deceased was sick at thetime of death.
The mortality and sickness of the scheme members are described by the followingmultiple-state model, in which the forces of transition depend on age only.
σxHealthy (H)ρxμxDead (D)νxSick (S)All surviving members retire at age 65 and leave the scheme regardless of theirstate of health.

The staff of a company are subject to two modes of decrement, death and
withdrawal from employment.
Decrements due to death take place uniformly over the year of age in theassociated single-decrement table: 50% of the decrements due to withdrawal
occur uniformly over the year of age and the balance occurs at the end of the yearof age, in the associated single-decrement table.
You are given that the independent rate of mortality is 0.001 per year of age andthe independent rate of withdrawal is 0.1 per year of age.
Calculate the probability that a new employee aged exactly 20 will die as anemployee at age 21 last birthday.
