The actuarial tables supplied by the U.S. government indicate a one in seven chance, NOT a one in three chance, as Damon claims. Take a look at http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/table4c6.html If you add up the four years for males from ages 72 to 75 you get 0.151985 which translates to about 1/7th or one in 7.
