Bond Ratings Chart What Is The Projected Default Risk For Different Bond Ratings?

What is the projected default risk for different bond ratings? - bond ratings chart

Does anyone know where there is a table showing the risk of failure is likely, given a particular rating by several rating agencies?

How risky is AA or AAA to BBB from BB?

Thank you!

There is a table showing the percentage of bonds increases from one grade to another, 5 years corporate bonds and default rates on their 1970-2001

And a document has a table for comparison of rates and default rates.

AAA: almost zero probability of failure
AA: very low probability (less than 0.1%)
A: low probability of default (approximately 0.15%)
BBB: low probability / medium failure lowest (investment grade) (0.3%)
BB: average probability of failure (1.2%)
B: PD high (3.5%)
C: very high, about 13% probability of default.

I do not know where (default rates) would be good. But with all the investments are books, is one of them.
I remember that was the expected default rate on BBB (investment grade) bonds 5%.
