Question

Obtain crude death rates (C. D. R.) for city A and city B from the data given below :

Age groups (in years)	City A		City B
	Population	No. of deaths	Population	No. of deaths
Below 15	800	32	900	12
15-25	3000	12	1500	8
25-65	4800	48	4500	38
65 and above	1400	42	600	30

Answer 1

Age groups (in years)	City A		City B
	Population	No. of deaths	Population	No. of deaths
Below 15	800	32	900	12
15-25	3000	12	1500	8
25-65	4800	48	4500	38
65 and above	1400	42	600	30
Total	`sumP_A=10000`	`sumD_A=134`	`sumP_B=7500`	`sumD_B=88`

`CDR_(A)=(sumD_A)/(sumP_A)xx1000`

`=134/10000xx1000`

`CDR_(A)=13.4`

 

`CDR_(B)=(sumD_B)/(sumP_B)xx1000`

`=88/7500xx1000`

`CDR_(B)=11.73`
