Question
Table 1provides data from 2007 for Alaska and Florida.
1. Calculate the Crude Mortality Rates in Alaska and Florida in 2007. Remember to show
the formula and your calculation.
2. Are the Crude Mortality Rates in Alaska and Florida similar or different?
3. If the Crude Mortality Rates are different, what rational explanation do you have for
the noted difference?

Table 2 provides the census population estimates and age-specific mortality
rates in Alaska and Florida in 2007.
4. What inference do you draw from reviewing the age-specific mortality rates of the two states?
5. Is this a better way to compare the mortality experience of the population in the two states
(than comparing the crude mortality rates)? Justify your response.

Explanation / Answer
Calculate the Crude Mortality Rates in Alaska and Florida in 2007
Alaska = 3463 / 683478 = 0.00507
Florida= 168096 / 18,251,243 =0.00921
Are the Crude Mortality Rates in Alaska and Florida similar or different?
DIFFERENT AS YOU CAN SEE IN LITERAL 1
3. 3. If the Crude Mortality Rates are different, what rational explanation do you have for the noted difference?
as you can see the population of florida is greater than alaska and also the number of deaths so is very easy to say that there are not the same value for the rates
What inference do you draw from reviewing the age-specific mortality rates of the two states?
I can conclude the same that i concluded in table 1 . there is more deaths in florida
5. Is this a better way to compare the mortality experience of the population in the two states
For a analysis of statistics I can say that is better compare the mortality experience of the population when you see table 2 because there is more information with other variable that is age of the people
for the others literals
I can gladly help you but you should post it in a new question
