Question

Suppose that in​ 2008, 945, 350 citizens died of a certain disease. Assuming the population of the country is 332 ​million, what was the mortality rate in units of deaths per​ 100,000 people?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mortality rate is 284.744 per​ 100,000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

total number of citizens died=945,350

total population =332 million

unit rate =100000

now, we can use formula

mortality rate = [( Number of citizens died)/(total population)]*(unit rate)

so, we can plug values

and we get

Mortality rate is

$=\frac{945350}{332\times 10^6} \times 100000$

$=284.743$

So, the mortality rate is 284.744 per​ 100,000 people

Answer 2

Answer:

The mortality rate is 285 units of death per 100,000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

945,350 people died out of 332,000,000 people. So the percentage of people who died is:

$\frac{945,350}{332,000,000}=0.00285*100=0.285$% is the rate of mortality

Now, in terms of 100,000 people, we need to multiply this mortality rate (0.285%) with 100,000:

$(0.285)(100,000)=285$

Hence, the mortality rate is 285 units of death per 100,000 people
