ACTIVITY(CALCULATIONS OF MORTALITY RATE)
Table 3.5 provides the number of deaths from all causes and from accidents (unintentional injuries) by age group in the United States in 2002. Review the following rates. Determine what to call each one, then calculate it using the data provided in Table.
1. Unintentional-injury-specific mortality rate for the entire population. Calculate cause-specific mortality rate.
2. All-cause mortality rate for 25-34 year olds. Calculate the age-specific mortality rate.
3. All-cause mortality among males. Calculate the sex-specific mortality rate.
4. Unintentional-injury specific mortality among 25 to 34 year old males. Calculate the is a cause-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific mortality rate
