Summary Introduction
Introduction: A statistical table which shows the relation between life expectancy and mortality for a given set of people is called life table. The net reproductive rate refers to numbers of offsprings that are born to all the females of all the ages in a population. The proportion of newborn and net reproductive rate can be calculated by analyzing the data provided in the life table.
