%X This research deals primarily with the hazard rate function of a class of distributions, and discusses the relation between the hazard rate function, and the density function. It was found that the Makeham-Gompertz mortality distribution and the truncated extreme value distribution had the same hazard rate function. We used the hazard rate function derived from these distributions to find the actuarial functions.
