Why? [/QUOTE]Beacuse if Y2 is greater than one then the 2nd term (21 x Y2) is greater than 42 and that just can't be less than 34.
PS - Maybe you missed that Y2 is "Y2" the variable, and not Y squared.
PPS - the other corollary I guess is that Y2 could be greater than 1 if Y2 was a negative number, but this fails to give a soluble algorithm. Oh, and just how do you have a negative number of females
