In which situation can total births be high even when the birth rate is low?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the population in the reproductive-age group is very large.

Answer: A. A birth rate is a rate or proportion, while total births are an actual number. A low rate applied to a very large population can still produce many births. In particular, if a large number of people are in the reproductive-age group, the total number of births may remain high even when the average birth rate is low. A is correct because it provides a large base from which births can occur. B is incorrect because without a reproductive-age group, births would not be expected from that group. C is incorrect because an entirely elderly population has very few or no people in the usual childbearing ages. D is incorrect because a population of zero cannot have births. Do not confuse a rate with a total count. Memory cue: rate tells the proportion; total tells how many in all.
