| Sammanfattning: | By analysing the John Graunt’s life’s tables matters, it is possible to point out the somehow artificial presentation way of some discrepancies established by the Huyghens brothers as reported by Jacques Véron et Jean-Marc Rohrbasser (Math. et Sci. Hum., n°149, p. 7-21). By computing the life’s span of the last surviving, out of a group of two persons, Christian Huygens has established the notion of conditional probability as well as the notion of the conditional life’s expectancy, both notions which have not explained, neither mentioned in the quoted article. |
