Abstract:
This study, based on the 2004 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), examines the extent to which regional variations of reproductive behavior are explained by inherent demographic, socioeconomic, and programmatic differences among regions. This article also attempts to investigate the impact of four intermediate fertility variables; namely marriage, contraception, lactational infecundability, and induced abortion, on fertility among different regions in Bangladesh. The contribution of proximate variables was observed through the decomposition of the total fertility rate (TFR) into proximate components. The results indicate that contraception is the highest fertility reducing factor in all the regions.

Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...
