the estimated death rate for 70 to 75 year olds is 25 deaths per 1000 people. assuming there are 22.8 million 70 to 75 year olds, how many are expected to die in a year?
To calculate the number of expected deaths, we will need to multiply the death rate by the number of individuals in that age group:
Number of expected deaths = Death rate * Number of people
Given:
Death rate = 25 deaths per 1000 people
Number of people = 22.8 million
First, let's convert the death rate to a decimal by dividing it by 1000:
Death rate = 25/1000 = 0.025
Now, we can calculate the number of expected deaths:
Number of expected deaths = 0.025 * 22.8 million = 570,000 deaths
Therefore, it is expected that 570,000 individuals aged 70 to 75 years old will die in a year.
