Total fertility rate
What does the total fertility rate graph tell us? What difficulties are you having in regards to total fertility rate and population? (the graph can be found in the age structure diagram assignment)

The TRF graphs show how the country is growing by comparing the number of children born to the number of women and giving an average. I didn't have any difficulties finding a graph for my country.
These graphs show us how the country is changing and growing, and it can tell a lot about what happened to the country during the time period it is covering. We aren't having any trouble finding this information, except for some contradicting sites.

The graph would show the countries different culture, economy, and how the people live their lives.
The total fertility rate is the average amount of children a women will have throughout her life.
The difficulties i'm having is understanding how they know the amount of children a woman will have and actually survive, there are many miscarriages or still-baby births.
TRF is the total fertility rate. This tells the average number of children women give birth to.
The total fertility rate tells us the average number of children a woman will have in her lifetime. It also helps us predict the future populations of a country. I didn't have any trouble finding a graph for my country.

The total fertility rate graph shows how many children a woman has, and how many of those children survive. Total fertility rate helps us predict future populations of the country, I had no problems in finding total fertility rate of my country.
The total fertility rate graph shows the average amount of children a woman gives birth to during their lifetime. Also it tells how many of those children survive. Total fertility rate helps us predict future populations of the country,and be able to see future problems. I didn't have trouble finding the total fertility rate of Japan.
A fertility rate graph shows how many children are born to a mother and how many of them survived. These graphs can tell us what the populations could look like in the future. The fertility rate was easy to find on our country.

Total fertility rate gives the rate of children women bear in a population. However, not all the children survive due to miscarriages or infant mortality. Other children may survive, but they may die at a young age. I had no problems in finding the fertility rate of Japan.
The total fertility graph shows us how many births there are per every woman. This shows us how many children the average woman has. There were no difficulties in finding this for our country.
The number of births given by a woman in a population is the fertility rate. Factors that limit the fertility rate are stillbirths and miscarries.
The total fertility rate represents how many children the average woman has in her life time. We found our fertility rate without difficulty.

The total fertility rate is the average amount of children that each women will have in a specific area
The fertility rate is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime. I found no difficulties finding the fertility rate.
Total fertility rate is an average of how many children a woman will have in her lifetime. Total fertility rate is always for a selected area. The U.S. has a organized method for registering childbirth, making it easy for anyone to find the right information.
The total fertility rate graph shows how many children are birthed to each mother and how many of those children survive. Assumptions and predictions can be made about future population numbers with this graph. I did not have trouble finding China's fertility rate.
Total Fertility Rate graph shows us the average number of children women in an area can, or will have. The only problem i had with finding the TFR is that many sites were not up to date.
Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is the amount of children a population can physically produce. This is a factor because not all females can support a child due to physical reasons. It might help if we could study how TFR comes about in a female or how it affects a population, also if it could effect an entire race and push it to extinction.

The total fertility rate graph tells us the amount of children per women in a country. This can also tell us how many children the average woman has in a country. We did not have any trouble finding this for our assignment.
The Total Fertility Rate(TFR) is how many children a woman will have in her lifetime. I found no difficulties with the fertility rate of my assigned country.
TFR is an average. They take the best way of determining births over a period of time and divide them by the population of women.
Despite just being able to find your country and knowing what TFR means, what other valuable information can you get from the data rather than just focusing on the number for your country? (Hint: look at the graph as a whole. What does it mean, how should it be used, how can you tie all this together?)

The total fertility rate tells us how many children are being born within a certain period of time. It can tell us when that certain area was experiencing a 'baby boom' or even a decline in the population. Also, it tells can tell us if the area is experiencing a difficult time with the agriculture or the education and it can tell whether or not we should look into other statistics to further any investigation.
The total fertility rate is how many children a woman has and also how many of them survive. This is why some countries have more children, because not many of the ones they have survive. My group and I had no trouble finding the TFR for Iceland.
Total Fertility Rate is the average number of children a woman in a certain population has. I understand the idea, but don't really understand how they calculate this. It is described as a 'synthetic' rate, not something that is counted, but is figured out by using information about how many children a woman would have if she didn't go through her child-bearing years. 
The Total Fertility Rate is the average number of children a woman will have. Using the TFR data you can tell what year there was an increase in births, and when there was a decrease.

The total fertility rate tells us the average number of children women of that population will have in their lifetime. This is based on the current ages and region or country. The TFR is obtained by summing certain age rates for a given time point. This rate is an estimation because it would take forever to count child births per age group for each woman in a given population. I really had no trouble finding Japan's total fertility rate or TFR.
