When solving a problem having to take into account dependent rates of decrement, it is never really necessary to construct a multiple decrement table, is it??
Unless either when explicitly told to do so, or when independent rates of decrement vary across the year (see 105_S01_7). If the of independent rates of decrement vary from year to year, constructing a multiple decrement table may even be time consuming (see 105_s02_09) but it may also save your time, so the strategy is to decide on the spot which one will save your time?
I'm I right, if not when is it best to use the MDT apart from when explicitly told to do so, or when independent rates of decrement vary across the year
Thanks.
