Answer to Question 1

The RNI is calculated by subtracting the number of deaths (usually expressed as the crude death
rate) from the number of births (usually expressed as the crude birth rate) in a given year. For
example, consider that Place A has a crude death rate of 32 and a crude birth rate of 47.
Subtracting 32 from 47 gives a rate of natural increase of 15 per 1,000 population. Converting
that figure to a percentage produces the RNI as 1.5 percent. A negative number is possible when
the mean death rate is larger than the mean birth rate.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
