CO 46: Deal the statistical data through MS EXCEL.
CO 47: Perform basic demographic analyses using various techniques and ensure their comparability across populations.
CO 48: Calculate various demographic measures such as CDR, ASDR, standardized death rate, CBR, GFR, SFR, TFR, GRR, and NRR
CO 49: Construct the Life Table
CO 50: Students will be able to fill in missing entries in a life table and compare GRR and NRR for a given set of data. |
