Answer 1

Answer:

a. 11

b. 3

c. homicide mortality rate

d. 11:3

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) If 15,555 homicide cases were recorded among males of 139,813,000 population, then in every 100,000 males, the number of homicides cases will become:

= [15,555/139,813,000] * 100,000

= 11.13 aproximately 11 homicide cases in every 100,000 males.

b.) If 4,753 homicide cases were recorded among Females of 144,984,000 population, then in every 100,000 Females, the number of homicides cases will become:

= [4753/144,984,000] * 100,000

= 3.28 approximately 3 homicide cases in every 100,000 females

C.) Homicide-mortality rate

d.) ratio of male to female homicide rate = 11 : 3

e.) What those rates means is that in every 100,000

Males in 2001, 11 of them were Victims of homicide and in every 100,000 females, 3 of them are victims of homicide.
