Question

Compute the standardised death rates for the following two populations A and B by taking the population A as the standard.

Answer 1

Since Population A is considered as standard Population. So, compute CDR for population A and SDR for Population B.

SDR (A) = CDR(A) = \(\frac {\textit{No.of deaths occuring in the year}}{\textit{Average population in the year}} \times 1000\)

SDR (B) =\(\frac{∑PB}{∑P}\)  B ASDR’s of Population B, P 

= Standard Population of A. For Population A :

CDR(A) = \(\frac{585}{54000}\)= 10.83

For Population B

SDR (A) = \(\frac{569550}{54000}\) 

= 10.547.
