FIGURE 5.

The distribution of lifetime costs (males, 2002–2003)

Each vertical bar in Figure 4 represents the probability that a male will incur lifetime costs of the magnitude on the horizontal axis, measured 2002 dollars. The three vertical lines represent the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles. About 10% of men have a lifetime cost of less than $22,450 and 50% have a lifetime cost of less than $59,819.
