Best Answer

A period life table uses a hypothetical population with conventional age groupings with the death case data from census records for a specified period of time, usually a year.

A cohort life table uses a specific (real) population from a defined region with conventional age groupings with death case data from death certificates from that region during the period specified.

Both are referred to as Life Tables, unfortunately.

Is sea salt better for you than regular table salt?

Sea salt is no better, and no worse than regular table salt. The difference is that they are collected in a different manner, contain different minerals, and table salt has added iodine (of which most people get enough from other foods). The taste is slightly different, some say more "subtle" than table salt. But nutritionally, there is no difference. They're both pure sodium chloride.


Explain the difference between uncharacteristic behaviour and inappropriate behavior?

Uncharacteristic behaviour is when someone acts unlike the way they usually act, say if I was shy and retiring and then one day I jumped on to a table and started dancing and singing, then that would be uncharacteristic behaviour. Whereas inappropriate behaviour is behaviour that is deemed unacceptable in those circumstances, say if i was in an exam and we had to not talk etc, then suddenly i leapt up and started shouting and screaming and ripping up exam papers, that would be inappropriate behaviour because it is 'against the rules' in that particular circumstance.

Is there a table showing the value of a dollar in any past year relative to today?

http://www.measuringworth.com/ppowerus/ This site allows one to input the initial year, amount spent in that year and the desired year from 1774 to 2007 and receive the answer. For instance, if $1,000.00 is inputted for 1807, $18,512.68 will be the answer in 2007. It works backwards also, If $1,000.00 is inputted for 2007, $43.94 is the answer for 1907.
