Population Statistics

Today Tuesday 4th January we looked at formulae to determine the population density, total number of births, and number of infant deaths in a country. The formulae were very easy to learn.

population density = total population / total land area in square miles

total births = (total population / 1,000) * birth rate

total infant deaths = (total births / 1,000) * infant mortality rate

We are learning these statistics because they can give us an indication of standard of living, level of development, and environmental impact a country has.

Thanks.
