Hi Xiyan,
It looks like your tables have different numbers of cases. There are:

66 DEAD FEMALES in "cross"
56 DEAD FEMALES in "age"

48 NON-DEAD FEMALES in "cross"
58 NON-DEAD FEMALES in "age"

and so on. Perhaps there is some mistake with the counts. If this is the
problem you could expand the counts to individual lines in a merged data
frame using the sex and death information.
