Explanation / Answer

we know that gross autopsy rate is given as

(total autopsies on inpatient deaths for a period / total inpatient deaths for a period) x 100

97/(362+4) = 26.5%

net autopsy rate is

(total autopsies on inpatient deaths for a period / [total inpatient deaths-unautopsied coroners' or medical examiners' cases]) x 100

97/(97-6)*100 = 106.5%
