Question

Suppose in country X, 10.00.000 children were born in the year 2009. Out of these, 90,000 died between age 1 and 5 years and 60,000 died before 1 year of age. What is the Infant mortality rate of this country?

Answer 1

Answer:

60 per thousand

Explanation:

Solution: Infant Mortality Rate =

$\frac{number \: of \: deaths \: of \: infants \: under \: age\:1 \: year \: of \: age}{total \: live \: births \: of \: infants \: in \: that \: year} \times 1000$

In short,

IMR=

$\frac{d0}{b} \times 1000$

Now, According to question

IMR=

$\frac{60000}{1000000} \times 1000$

or, IMR=60

Therefore, IMR of that place is 60 per thousand.
