Whats is the birth rate of a country with total population of 160 million and registered births of 4 million in a given year?
Answer Details
The birth rate of a country is the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a given year. To calculate the birth rate, we divide the number of registered births by the total population and multiply by 1,000.
In this case, the total population is 160 million, and the number of registered births is 4 million.
Birth rate = (Number of registered births / Total population) x 1,000
Birth rate = (4,000,000 / 160,000,000) x 1,000
Birth rate = 25 per 1,000
Therefore, the birth rate of the country is 2.5%.
