Crude Death Rate of 8 per 1,000 implies that in a population of 1 million, annual deaths are approximately:
A. 80,000
B. 800
C. 8,000
D. 800,000
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
CDR = (Deaths / Population) × 1,000 → Deaths = (CDR × Population) / 1,000 = (8 × 1,000,000) / 1,000 = 8,000. Simple application of the rate formula.
