Expert Solution
Step 1

Mortality Rate: 

Mortality rate is the number of deaths in a given population or group during a specific time period, usually expressed as a rate per unit of population or as a percentage of the total population. Mortality rate is an important health indicator that provides insights into the health status and risk factors of a population, and can be used to monitor trends and evaluate the effectiveness of public health interventions.

Mortality rate can be calculated for different population subgroups, such as age groups, genders, or specific diseases or health conditions. It can also be used to compare the mortality rate of one population with another or with a national or international benchmark.
