Expert Solution

Step 1

Initial pulation size can be calculated from, age specific survivorship life table. In the given table different age classes, mortality, survived/ live individuals of each age class is denoted as Nx.

Survivorship is denoted by lx which is the ratio between live individuals of a given age class and initial population size.

Thus, lx= Nx/N₀ [N₀ = Initial population size]
