https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger#Reproduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger#Reproduction says usually 2-3 cubs per birth, mortality rate 50% in two years. They separate after two years. If the tigress only has one litter on the go at a time, that puts a limit of about half a cub per year. The reported numbers come to about 1/10 of a cub per tiger per year, or 1/5 of a cub per tigress assuming equal numbers. If two thirds of them are sexually mature, then 0.3 cubs/year each. That's close enough to the upper bound that it seems implausible to me, but these numbers aren't reliable enough for strong conclusions.
