Abstract
Mortality is one of the third components of Demographic events. Currently in the developing nations the force of child mortality is very high which play a dominant role in determining the growth of population. The aim of present work is to develop a probability model for the child mortality under the certain assumption techniques. The suitability of model tested through observed set of data.
