If you are looking for a partner of a particular age and gender, do you know which Australian state will statistically give you the best chance?

(Disclaimer: These questions are based on statistics, and don’t take into account a range of other factors that come into play when seeking a partner.)

It's common knowledge that more males are born than females, but do you know how many more? And at what age does the gender split become even?
To help understand the age sex make-up of Australia, SBS spoke to demography professor Peter McDonald from the ANU and demographer Lisa Denny from the University of Tasmania.

Put your knowledge to the test with this quiz.
