Longevity and Uncertainty 2

I was looking back at some of the longevity stats in my previous posts and realized that the mean and standard deviation are less helpful in non-normal distributions -- the distribution implied in the SS tables is clearly not normal -- so I thought I'd recast it in quartiles to see what it looks like.  Not sure if I got this completely right; maybe some math-enabled person can correct me at some point.
