Question:

In a country, the survival function for women is closely approximated by sf(x) = (1 − x/100)1/2, while for men, it is sm(x) = (1−x/90)1/2. We assume that the probability of the birth of a boy is 1/2. Let Nm and Nf be the number of men and women of age x. Estimate E{Nf})E{Nm} for x = 0 and x = 50. Give a heuristic explanation for why the ratio mentioned is greater for x = 50.
