Explanation / Answer

a)) Firstly, we calculate the overall crude mortality rate for OH and MI as per 100000 population.

We have a total of 830 deaths in Ohio and 1200 deaths in Michigan. Now, the total number of deaths would be 830+1200 = 2030.

The total population is given 1240000.

Thus, the overall crude mortality rate is given as

= (2030/1240000)*100000

= 163.70

b))

Now, the age-adjusted mortality rates using the combined population as standard are given in the table above.

Combined Age group Deaths in Ohio Deaths in Michigan Population (Standard) Mortality rate in Ohio Mortality rate in Michigan 0-15 30 50 265000 11.32 18.87 16-70 215 425 675000 31.85 62.96 71+ 585 725 300000 195.00 241.67 Total 830 1200 1240000 66.94 96.77
