Standardized Death Rate (SDR) is expressed per: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Standardized Death Rate (SDR) is expressed per:
A. 1,000 population
B. 100 population
C. 100,000 population
D. 10,000 population
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Like crude rates, SDR is typically expressed per 1,000 standard population to maintain consistency and readability, though the base can vary by convention (e.g., per 100,000 for rare events).

Question #1
Time reversal test in index numbers implies that if the base and current periods are interchanged, the resulting index should be the ______ of the original.
A. Double
B. Reciprocal
C. Half
D. Square

Question #2
If P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.4, and A and B are independent, P(A ∪ B) is:
A. 0.82
B. 0.58
C. 0.70
D. 0.12

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For independent events, P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B)=0.3×0.4=0.12. Then P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)=0.3+0.4-0.12=0.58, applying the addition theorem with the independence condition.

Question #3
Which sampling method is MOST appropriate for collecting primary data from a heterogeneous population with distinct subgroups?
A. Convenience sampling
B. Stratified random sampling
C. Simple random sampling
D. Snowball sampling

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Stratified sampling divides the population into homogeneous subgroups (strata) and samples from each, ensuring representation of all key segments and improving precision for subgroup analysis.
