Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given information about the number of babies born and the number who died before reaching their first birthday can be used to calculate the infant mortality rate. This is a key indicator of the overall health and well-being of a population, particularly with regard to access to healthcare and nutrition during the first year of life. The crude death rate (A) would require information on the total number of deaths in the population (not just infant deaths), while early life expectancy (C) and the terminal increase rate (E) are not widely used demographic measures. The murder rate (D) is not relevant to this situation.
