a)
To find the crude mortality rate for Florida and the crude mortality rate for the United States.
a)
Answer to Problem 18SLCT
The crude mortality rate for Florida = 0.0091
The crude mortality rate for the United States = 0.0080
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Age | ||||
0-24 | 25-64 | 65 and older | Total | |
Florida deaths | 3625 | 39820 | 129395 | 172840 |
Florida population | 5716861 | 9842031 | 3375303 | 18934195 |
U.S. deaths | 63208 | 619982 | 1832268 | 2515458 |
U.S. population | 103542603 | 163960163 | 45296729 | 312799495 |
Total | 109326297 | 174461996 | 50633695 | 334421988 |
Formula:
The crude mortality rate for Florida is,
The crude mortality rate for U.S. is,
We can not compare this crude mortality rate as there are different number of deaths for each age group. So, this might be misleading the results if we compare total crude mortality rate of Florida with U.S.
b)
To find the mortality rate of Florida and United States for age group 65 and older.
b)
Answer to Problem 18SLCT
The mortality rate for Florida = 0.0383
The mortality rate for the United States = 0.0405
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Age | ||||
0-24 | 25-64 | 65 and older | Total | |
Florida deaths | 3625 | 39820 | 129395 | 172840 |
Florida population | 5716861 | 9842031 | 3375303 | 18934195 |
U.S. deaths | 63208 | 619982 | 1832268 | 2515458 |
U.S. population | 103542603 | 163960163 | 45296729 | 312799495 |
Total | 109326297 | 174461996 | 50633695 | 334421988 |
Formula:
The mortality rate for Florida is,
The mortality rate for U.S. is,
The mortality rate of U.S. is higher than mortality rate of Florida.
c)
To find the percentage of population of Florida and U.S. is made up of people aged 65 and older.
c)
Answer to Problem 18SLCT
The percentage of population of Florida is made up of people aged 65 and older = 17.8%
The percentage of population of United States is made up of people aged 65 and older = 14.5%
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Age | ||||
0-24 | 25-64 | 65 and older | Total | |
Florida deaths | 3625 | 39820 | 129395 | 172840 |
Florida population | 5716861 | 9842031 | 3375303 | 18934195 |
U.S. deaths | 63208 | 619982 | 1832268 | 2515458 |
U.S. population | 103542603 | 163960163 | 45296729 | 312799495 |
Total | 109326297 | 174461996 | 50633695 | 334421988 |
Formula:
The percentage of population of Florida is made up of people aged 65 and older
The percentage of population of U.S. is made up of people aged 65 and older
There is highest percentage of Florida people for age group 65 and older as compare to U.S. population.

Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion.
