We conduct a survey in a war-torn country. Our 95% confidence interval for the during-war death rate is 6 per 1,000 per year to 8 per 1,000 per year. A high-quality census was conducted just before the war started so we know with certainty that the pre-war death rate was 5 per 1,000 per year. The country's population is 5000000. Calculate the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for excess deaths during the first 2 years of the war.
