When Jeremy and Joanna studied together, they liked to structure it like a Jeopardy game. Jeremy gave the answer "the number of live births per 1000 women of childbearing age." What would Joanna answer as the correct question?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fertility rate is the number of live births per 1000 women of childbearing age. A is incorrect because birth rate refers to the total number of live births per thousand people in a population, not just women of childbearing age. B is incorrect because fecundity rate refers to the maximum potential for reproduction of a female or male, not the actual number of live births. D is incorrect because reproduction rate is not a commonly used term in this context and does not specifically refer to live births per 1000 women of childbearing age.
