Question

The table shows the leading causes of death in a certain country in a recent year The population of the country was 313 million. What is the empirical probability of death by heart disease during a single year? How much greater is the risk of death by heart disease than death by suicide? The empirical probability of death by heart disease during a single year is 0.00191 (Round to five decimal places as needed.) The risk of death by heart disease is about 15 times greater than risk by death of suicide (Round to one decimal place as needed)

Explanation / Answer

emperical probability for heart disease = 596,900/313,000,000 = 0.00190702875

emperical probability for suicide = 38,200/313,000,000 = 0.00012204472

risk of death by heart disease than by sucide = emperical probability for heart disease / emperical probability for suicide

= 0.00190702875/0.00012204472 = 15.6256554974 times
