I'm working through the project and it mentions that mortality is increased by a factor of 10. I'm a bit stuck on how to interpret this: is it simply 10% increase to mortality rates? Thank you for your help!

It might help if you can tell us which project you're working through.
 
Without being able to see the project and not really being a specialist in this area I can only make an educated guess. I would suggest that the values of \(q_x\) are increased by a factor of 10, i.e. multiplied by 10, not increased by 10%. If you come across anything in the exam that you think is ambiguous, check with the supervisor. That's what they're there for.
