Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A health officer in Trinidad is analysing population data and notices that the number of births per 1000 people in a year is 18. What term describes this measurement?

  1. Death rate
  2. Birth rate
  3. Growth rate
  4. Fertility rate
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Birth rate
Award 1 mark for identifying birth rate as the number of live births per 1000 people per year. A is incorrect — death rate refers to deaths, not births. C is incorrect — growth rate is the difference between birth and death rates. D is incorrect — fertility rate specifically measures births per women of reproductive age, not per total population.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Jamaica's population increased from 2.5 million to 2.7 million over a 10-year period. Which factor would NOT directly contribute to this population increase?

  1. Improved healthcare reducing infant mortality
  2. Immigration from other Caribbean islands
  3. Emigration to the United States
  4. Higher birth rates among young adults
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Emigration to the United States
Award 1 mark for recognising that emigration removes people from a population, thus reducing rather than increasing population size. A is incorrect — reduced infant mortality increases survival and population. B is incorrect — immigration adds to population. D is incorrect — higher birth rates increase population.
