Age-Specific Fertility Rate is expressed per 1,000 women to: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Age-Specific Fertility Rate is expressed per 1,000 women to:
A. Align with mortality rate conventions
B. Simplify calculation
C. Match the scale of Crude Birth Rate
D. Avoid small decimal values and facilitate comparison
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Using a base of 1,000 converts rates to whole numbers (e.g., 120 instead of 0.12), enhancing readability and comparability across age groups and populations without changing the underlying proportion.

Question #1
The addition theorem of probability for two events A and B states that P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B). This formula accounts for:
A. The double-counting of outcomes common to both A and B
B. The independence of events
C. The complement of event A
D. The conditional probability of A given B

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Subtracting P(A ∩ B) corrects for the fact that outcomes in the intersection are counted twice when adding P(A) and P(B), ensuring accurate probability calculation for the union.

Question #2
Bayes' theorem combines prior probability and likelihood to give:
A. Joint probability
B. Posterior probability
C. Marginal probability
D. Conditional probability of the evidence

Question #3
The median of the dataset: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 is:
A. 22.5
B. 20
C. 25
D. 30

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
With 6 observations (even), median = average of 3rd and 4th values in ordered list: (20 + 25)/2 = 22.5. This splits the data into two equal halves.
