Question

If total births during an year is 2000 and total population is 100000 what will be the birth rate?

Answer 1

The birth rate in this case is 20 births per 1000 people.

Explanation:

We know,that birth rate of any country is equal to the total live births during an year multiplied by 1000 divided by the estimated total population during that year.

Here,the total live birth is given as 2000 and the total estimated population is 100000.

Therefore,the birth rate in this case=$(2000\ast 1000)/100000$=$2000000/100000$=20 births per 1000 people.

Hence,in this case,the birth rate would be 20 births per 1000 people.

Answer 2

Given:

Total birth in a year= 2000

Total population= 100000

To find:

Birth rate

Solution:

Birth rate can be determined by-

(No.of live births/ Total population )*1000

It is always estimated in a given year.

So birth rate= (2000/100000)*1000 = 20

So, we can say that the birth rate is 20 per 1000 individuals.
