Question
The Table below contains data for Dall Mountain Sheep (data from 1944). Generate a survivorship curve by plotting number of survivors on the y-axis vs. age on the x-axis. Use log paper or plot the log10 answer for each number of survivors.

Explanation / Answer
Due to some issues in image uploading, i am not able to provide the graph made in excel sheet.
However, i think you are familiar with excel sheet. What you have to do is put values for ages on x-axis and log10 value of no. of survivers on y-axis.
Survivorship curves are usually created by plotting number of survivors on the y-axis and age on the x-axis. The y-axis is usually logarithmic, i.e., log10 (number of survivors), to allow comparisons among different studies and species. In other words, log transformations standardize the survivorship curve.
