Answer 2

This isn't kept track each day, but there are statistical tools that help people come up with these numbers. Also many poor nations can't afford to keep track of this, so the US, and the UN try to keep track of this information, but there is a lot of uncertainty.

Based on information provided by the CIA World Factbook:
20.05 births/1,000 population (2006 est.)
8.67 deaths/1,000 population (2006 est.)

So on your average day there are about 2.31 times more people born than who die.
