have you done any trials?  has any experimentation been done and the numbers determined from the results?  

or are we just being asked what a reasonable outcome should be without being told to do anything at all ...

How is that ? @amistre64 How should I start the trials.

amistre64 · Answer

you would start picking people, and seeing what age bracket they fall in ...  are you told to do that?  is there a table of results?

amistre64 · Answer

have you been given trial data to calculate?  or are you asked to pull values out of thin air?

one is an experiment, the other is a theory ....
