Answer #1. for every man is 4 women.A lot of men died from violence, diseases.Thats why in most cultures men are polygamous.Like for examples:Mormons,Muslims,Africans,Hindus e.t.c.
Answer #2. The person who wrote the statistic in answer #4 was very wrong, and clearly did no research, relying instead on ideology.
Yes, there are more adult women than adult men, but the difference is not very large at all. True, more men die from violence than women, and there are likely more genetic diseases for men because of their XY chromosome, but these do not kill enough to fit the original answerer's claims.
Certainly some cultures have polygamy, but "most"? I'd need to see real numbers to believe that. The biggest culture is that in China, and I am not aware of polygamy there (though there may been in the past for men of very high status). In North America, there is a new movement toward polyamorous families, in which there could be 3 women and a man, or 2 men and a woman, or 2 of each... any combination of loving adults that is not restricted to one partner of each sex.

What percentage of the US population don't drink alcohol?
Between seven and ten percent of the US population have abused alcohol for extended periods. It is difficult to determine which of those are alcoholics, because alcohol abuse is a continuum rather than a fixed point. Studies indicate that the proportion of men with alcohol dependence is higher than the proportion of women, 7% and 2.5% respectively, although women are more vulnerable to long-term consequences of alcoholism. Around 90% of adults in United States consume alcohol, and more than 700,000 of them are treated daily for alcoholism.

It changes over years, but the average age of Chinese goes up recently, that's because of the policy of born limitation by the government.
So, according to the result, Chinese people's average age will increase to about 51.2 in 2015A according to that, China should loosen the law of the born limitation in order to slow down the hyper-age problem.

A census taker is an employee of the US Census Bureau who uses a computer to ask scripted questions to occupants of addresses chosen by statistical sampling and algorithms. The data gathered is heavily encrypted, transmitted, and combined with data from many addresses so that meaningful statistics can be created. These statistics are used at all levels of government to make decisions that affect everyone. The most important duty of any Census Bureau employee is ensuring that all data gathered, including names and addresses, are confidential and only known by Census Bureau employees with a need to know. Even the name of the survey a participant was involved in is extremely confidential. Any violation or breach of this duty will probably result in huge fines and jail time.
For an example of the statistics created, go to census.gov and click on "American Factfinder". Different surveys create different statistics.
