Conceptually we would expect the probability of newborn males and females to be the same. However, census reports indicate that the ratios of males and females in various countries do not conform to the theoretical prediction. What do you think accounts for this variation? Can you cite published examples for one or more countries or regions? Can you think of other cases where the expected probabilities do not quite agree with the empirical values based on relative frequency?
