The distributions of apparent beamwidths for a sample of 195 pulsars with known ages were analyzed. Under the assumptions that radiation is directly emitted by the pulsar cone and that the rotation axis with respect to the observer is randomly oriented, the formulas of the conditioned distribution density of the apparent beamwidths and the distribution density of the magnetic inclination were derived. The results of the numerical calculations are shown. It was found that the distribution of magnetic inclinations tends to have a small angle, pulsars with angles of 30 degrees or less making up about 73 percent of the total. As the age increases, the magnetic inclination gradually decreases.
