Answer to Question 1

The student should indicate that the refined divorce rate is the most accurate and useful. It examines the number of divorces in a given year for every 1,000 married women over age 15. The crude divorce rate looks at the number of divorces per 1,000 people, including all groups, married, single, children, etc. This method is not accurate. The use of raw numbers compares the number of divorces in one year to the number of marriages that year. It is not accurate because those who are divorcing in any given year are not the same population that married in that year.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
