Question Answered step-by-step Suppose that you wanted to compare mortality rates in Kentucky and… Suppose that you wanted to compare mortality rates in Kentucky and Tennessee (exhibit 7.14). One way to figure this is to use the age distribution in a geographically larger area, such as the whole United States, as the standard. Use the direct age adjustment method. Assume that all rates are expressed per 100,000. Using the standard population for Kentucky, how would you calculate the expected number of deaths?Using the standard population for Tennessee, how would you calculate the expected number of deaths?What is the age-adjusted mortality rate (per 100,000) for Kentucky?What is the age-adjusted mortality rate (per 100,000) for Tennessee?After using this technique, which state has the lower (or better) rates?Can you calculate the crude (unadjusted) overall mortality rates for each state from these data? Why or why not?  Math Statistics and Probability ECON 516 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
