Simulate the true response to a yes/no response question in a given population with specified opinions for sex, race/ethnicity, age, and geography

1 2	simulate_true_response_age(geovector, odds_geography, odds_sex, odds_raceethnicity, odds_age)

`geovector`	A vector of geographies specified as a two letter abbreviation or a 5-digit FIPS code. Each geography must be the entire U.S. (`US`) or a single state (for example, `TX` or `CA`) or a single county (for example, `49035`). For example, `c("TX", "UT")`.
`odds_geography`	Numeric vector specifying the opinion odds of the survey respondents by geography in the same bins as `geovector`.
`odds_sex`	Numeric vector specifying the opinion odds of the survey respondents by sex in the order male, then female. For example, `c(0.8, 1.25)` means that men are 0.8 times as likely to approve the survey question and women are 1.25 times as likely to approve the survey question.
`odds_raceethnicity`	Numeric vector specifying the opinion odds of the survey respondents by race/ethnicity in the order white alone, Hispanic or Latino, black alone, Asian alone, and other, for example, `c(0.2, 2, 2.5, 1, 1)`.
`odds_age`	Numeric vector specifying the opinion odds of the survey respondents by age in the following bins: under 18 years, 18 to 24 years, 25 to 44 years, 45 to 64 years, 65 years and over, for example, `c(1, 0.5, 2, 2.5, 2.5)`.

A data frame with 3 columns (value, answer, and result) that tabulates the true opinion on the yes/no question in the given population.

odds_geography <- c(1.5, 0.8)
odds_sex <- c(0.5, 2)

odds_age <- c(1, 0.5, 2, 2.5, 2.5)
