Question 3
Table shows Stover's revised proximate determinants of fertility model parameters and TFR in a hypothetical country in Africa.
Please calculate the parameters and enter figure into blank based on the other statistics assuming potential fertility is 21.
| Year | Index of proportion of sexually active (Cx) | Index of postpartum infecundability (Ci) | Index of sterility(Cf) | Index of Contraception (Cu) | Index of abortion (Ca) | projected TFR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1995 | 0.70 | 0.92 | 0.81 | 1.0 | 6.05 | Reveal | |
| 2000 | 0.61 | 0.63 | 0.89 | 0.79 | 1.0 | 5.40 | |
| 2010 | 0.56 | 0.66 | 0.69 | 1.0 | 5.02 | Reveal |
The correct answer is: Ci = TFR/(21 × Cx × Cf × Cu × Ca). Thus, 6.05/ (21 × 0.70 × 0.92 × 0.81 × 1.0) = 0.55
The correct answer is: Cf = TFR/(21 × Cx × Ci × Cf × Ca). Thus, 5.02/ (21 × 0.56 × 0.66 × 0.69 × 1.0) = 0.94
Correct. Ci = TFR/(21 × Cx × Cf × Cu × Ca). Thus, 6.05/ (21 × 0.70 × 0.92 × 0.81 × 1.0) = 0.55
Correct. Cf = TFR/(21 × Cx × Ci × Cf × Ca). Thus, 5.02/ (21 × 0.56 × 0.66 × 0.69 × 1.0) = 0.94
Sorry, that is not correct. Please calculate again.
No, not right unfortunately. Please try again.
