Speculate upon the calculation shown in the table and Graph;
Briefly explain:
a)Do the cohort survivorship curves from each decade different from one another? If so, what might have caused the differences?
b)Were the population growing while the cohort was extant?
c)How would the data have been altered if Woodland Cemetery had stopped excepting interments in 1950 rather than being open to the present day?
d) One problem with studying survivorship curves is that a birth cohort must be followed through until the death of the last individual. How would the shape of a 1960's cohort survivorship curve be altered from those of the 1800's?
