What is the difference between median and average?
The average is the sum of all numbers divided by quantity of numbers, and the median is the mean.
The average is the sum of all numbers divided by quantity of numbers, and the median is the "middle" value of all of your numbers, so you need to look at list as a whole.
There is no difference.
The median is the same as the mode, or the number that occurs the most often.
Which factor is most responsible for increasing life expectancy in many less industrialized nations?
Declining birth rates
Availability of health insurance
Access to primary education
Improved healthcare programs
What is life expectancy?
The number of years needed for one to reach 60 years.
The average number of years that people are expected to live in a country.
The difference between the mortality rate and the death rate of a country
What one expects to face in life.
Which factor is most directly related to the level of economic development of a country?
High urban population/ Urbanization
Fertility rate
Mortality rate
Religious diversity
World population distribution is highly uneven in which population density is higher on the coasts than the interior. One main reason for this pattern is due to
access to trade routes and travel
access to fishing
access to fresh water sources
the oceans act as a natural barrier
The infant mortality rate is
the number of working-age people (ages 15 to 64) divided by the number of infants under the age of 1 who die in a society
related to the maternal mortality rate
the annual number of deaths of infants under 1 year of age, compared with total live births
the crude death rate for children
The IMR is a good indicator of
access to contraceptives in a society
the quality and availability of overall health care in a society
the size of the average family
the total fertility rate
The Natural Increase Rate is
the percentage by which a population grows in a year
irrelevant to the doubling time of a population
the same in the Gambia as it is in all countries of Africa
the sum of the CBR and the CDR combined
Since 1980, nearly all of the world's NIR has been seen in
highly developed countries
moderately developed countries
less developed countries
major urban centers throughout the world
Physiological density is
the total number of objects in a given area
the ratio of farmers to arable land
the number of people living in river valleys in a country
the number of people per unit area of arable land
In stage 3 of the demographic transition
there is a very high CBR, very high CDR, and very low NIR
there is a high CBR, a rapidly declining CDR, and a very high NIR
there is a rapidly declining CBR, a moderately declining CDR, and a moderate NIR
there is a very low CBR, a low or slightly increasing CDR, a 0 or negative NIR
Which of the following terms represents a percentage, as in it is portrayed as the number of something per 100 of something else.
CDR and CBR
IMR and MMR
Dependency Ratio
NIR
