Dosemg/kg(a)	Dead (b)	Alive (c)	Total(d)		Percent of mortality(e) (%)
			Dead(d1)	Alive (d2)
10.9	1	4	1	10	9.09
11.9	2	3	3	6	33.33
12.9	3	2	6	3	66.66
14.1	4	1	10	1	90.9
15.4	5	0	15	0	100

Note: Column (a) represents tested doses. The numbers of dead and alive rats after 24 h of doses injection are entered in column (b) and (c). Column (d) represents the accumulated number of dead and alive rats at given doses. Column (b) is therefore added from the top, and the subtotal for each dose is entered in column (d₁) as the accumulated number of dead rats at given doses plus those lower doses. Column (c) is therefore added from the bottom, and the subtotal for each dose is entered in column (d₂) as the accumulated number of alive rats at given doses plus higher doses. Percent of mortality is calculated from column (d₁ and d₂) and is entered in column (e).
