Question

Given the following information : 

Age groups (in years)	Population	Number of deaths
0 - 20	40,000	350
20 - 65	65,000	650
65 and above	15,000	x

Find X, if the CDR = 13.4 per thousand. 

Answer 1

Given                            CDR = 13.4
Total population`(∑P_i)=40000+65000+15000`

                                  =`120000` 

No of Deaths `(ΣD_i)`  = `350+650+x`

                                  =`1000+x` 

             `  CDR=(ΣDi)/(∑ p i)xx1000` 

⇒ `13.4=(1000+x)/120000xx1000` 

⇒ `13.4=1000+x/120` 

⇒ `13.4=(1000+x)/120` 

⇒ x=`1608-1000` 

∴ `x=608`
