The proportion of the population with a standard of living below the poverty line

The Head Count Index (H) is the proportion of the population whose economic welfare (y) is less than the poverty line (z). If q people are deemed to be poor in a population of size n then H=q/n. For computing the Head Count Index, estimates of individual economic welfare and the poverty line are required.

How do you calculate an annualized turnover rate?

If you're talking about Annualized Turnover calculations for Human Resources: 12 month, annualized - turnover # for a month divided by the headcount for the group. Then multiply that by 12/1 (12 equating to the fact that there are 12 months in a year, 1 being the respective month you are in ... the 2nd month would be '2', the 3rd month would be '3', etc). It gets a little more complicated when you get to month '2' of the equation because you'll need the 'Average Turnover #' and the 'Average Headcount' up to that point in time. It's best to think of Annualization as a predicted indicator 12th month performance if all headcount and turnover remain constant, it's like a predictor.

What is difference between sparse index and dense index?

Dense Index: An index record appears for every search key value in file. This record contains search key value and a pointer to the actual record. Sparse Index: Index records are created only for some of the records. To locate a record, we find the index record with the largest search key value less than or equal to the search key value we are looking for. We start at that record pointed to by the index record, and proceed along the pointers in the file (that is, sequentially) until we find the desired record. - - (ref: http://sawaal.ibibo.com/computers-and-technology/difference-between-sparce-index-dence-index-773764.html)
