According to the CDC there were 597,689 deaths in the US in 2010 attributed to heart disease. Given that the US population in 2010 was close to 308 million, what was the death rate per capita for heart disease in the US for 2010? (round to five decimal places)
597,689 / 308,000,000 = 0.00194
A worker is exposed to 98 dB for five hours and 82 dB for a three hours, giving an eight hour working day. On average what noise level is this worker exposed to? (round to the nearest whole number)
Well, let me do some quick math while juggling some numbers and wearing clown shoes. So, if we divide the number of heart disease deaths (597,689) by the US population (308 million), we can calculate the death rate per capita for heart disease in 2010. Drum roll, please! The death rate per capita for heart disease in the US in 2010 is approximately 0.00194. Now that's a ratio that can give anyone a heart attack! (Not literally though, please take care of your heart!)
To calculate the death rate per capita for heart disease in the US in 2010, you can use the following formula:
Death rate per capita = (Number of deaths / Population) * 100,000
Given:
Number of deaths due to heart disease in the US in 2010 = 597,689
US population in 2010 = 308 million
First, divide the number of deaths by the population:
597,689 / 308,000,000 = 0.00194046
Next, multiply the result by 100,000 to express it as a rate per capita:
0.00194046 * 100,000 = 194.046
Therefore, the death rate per capita for heart disease in the US in 2010 was approximately 194.046 (rounded to five decimal places).
To calculate the death rate per capita for heart disease in the US in 2010, you need to divide the number of deaths attributed to heart disease by the total population of the US in that year.
First, divide the number of deaths attributed to heart disease (597,689) by the population of the US in 2010 (308 million):
597,689 / 308,000,000 = 0.001939134
To get the death rate per capita, multiply the result by 100,000:
0.001939134 * 100,000 = 193.9134
Rounded to five decimal places, the death rate per capita for heart disease in the US in 2010 is approximately 193.91340 per 100,000 population.
