From the current movie RIPD. math check on a statement made please?
In the movie RIPD
Mary louise Parker (mmm) playing proctor says to ryan reynolds
"there are over 150000 people dying a day, the system was just not meant to cope with that volume"
math time now
i calculate that with 8 000 000 000 (8billion people in the world) and assuming a constant population ( ie deaths equal births) that with an average life expectancy of 65 that
it should be 337 197 people a day .
or if it is indeed 150 000 people then the average life expectancy is 146 years?
My question is to those that like some applied math are my calcs right? did the movie under estimate the number of arrivals?
ps ive used 365 days a year and ignored leap days

I suspect that the figure is right because the world population is massively skewed towards young people who die less frequently than old ones. No data to prove that but it makes sense to me.
