Standardized Death Rate allows comparison of mortality between Population X and Y by:
A. Focusing only on working-age adults
B. Averaging their crude death rates
C. Applying each population's age-specific rates to a common standard age distribution
D. Using X's age structure for both
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Standardization removes age structure effects by calculating what each population's death rate would be if it had the same age distribution as a standard population, enabling fair comparison of underlying mortality risks.
Explanation:
Bayes' theorem follows directly from the definition of conditional probability: P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) and P(B|A) = P(A∩B)/P(A), equating the expressions for P(A∩B).
Explanation:
Cost of Living Indices are specialized CPIs with baskets weighted according to the expenditure patterns of particular demographic groups, providing more relevant inflation measures for targeted policy adjustments.
