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.

- An electronics company manufactures batches of n circuit boards. Before a batch is approved for shipment, m boards are randomly selected from the batch and tested. The batch is rejected if more than d boards in the sample are found to be faulty. a) A batch actually contains six faulty circuit boards. Find the probability that the batch is rejected when n = 20, m = 5, and d = 1. b) A batch actually contains nine faulty circuit boards. Find the probability that the batch is rejected when n = 30, m = 10, and d = 1.arrow_forwardTwenty-eight applicants interested in working for the Food Stamp program took an examination designed to measure their aptitude for social work.

They wish to fairly divide the cake using the lone chooser method. Pam likes strawberry twice as much as chocolate or vanilla. Rob only likes chocolate. Sam, the chooser, likes vanilla and strawberry twice as much as chocolate. In the first division, Pam cuts the strawberry piece off and lets Rob choose his favorite piece. Based on that, Rob chooses the chocolate and vanilla parts. Note: All cuts made to the cake shown below are vertical.Which is a second division that Rob would make of his share of the cake?arrow_forward
- Three players (one divider and two choosers) are going to divide a cake fairly using the lone divider method. The divider cuts the cake into three slices (s1, s2, and s3).
