Explanation / Answer
1) Probability of death for males = 80%
Probability of death for females = 28%
The probability of death for males is 52% more when compared to females .
2) As per the data given , it is not possible to say if age makes a difference in the probability of death.
3) The number of child population exposed to risk is 86 and when compared to adults the population of adults exposed to risk is 1237. The number of child deaths is 49 and the number of adult deaths is 770. The number of children in relation to the number of adults tell us that the number of child population exposed to risk and the number of child deaths is less when compared to adults .
4) Economic status makes a difference in the probability of death because the 1st and 2nd category of population exposed to risk and the number of deaths in the 1st and 2nd category is less when comapred to the 3rd category . The 1st and 2nd category have a higher economic status when compared to the third category .
5) This data is generated from the adult and child mortality rate .
