• In 2011 there were 14 infant deaths for every 1000 live births; in 2012 there were 12 infant deaths for every 1300 live births. Using the infant death information from problem 3, calculate the infant mortality rate over the 3 year period.

Infant mortality rate over the 3 year period = No. of infant deaths over the 3 year periodxl 000/No. of live births over the 3 year period

= (10+ 14+ 12)*1000 / (1500+1000+1300)
