Using the table below, reproduced from page 152 of the Friis and Sellers (2014) text, calculate age-specific death rates for the category of malignant neoplasms of trachea, bronchus, and lung. What inferences can be made from the age-specific death rates for malignant neoplasms of trachea, bronchus, and lung?

For purposes of calculation:

The total population is 2003 was 290,810,789 (males = 143,037,290; females = 147,773,499).
For 2003, total number of live births was 4,089,950.

In your Week Two assignment, please answer the following questions related to the measures of morbidity and mortality:

Calculate the crude death rates (per 100,000) for accidents, malignant neoplasms, and Alzheimers disease. Repeat these calculations for males and females separately.
Calculate the cause-specific death rates (per 100,000) for accidents, malignant neoplasms, and Alzheimers disease. Repeat these calculations for males and females separately.
What are the Proportional Mortality Ratios (PMR) (percent) for accidents, malignant neoplasms, and Alzheimers disease? Repeat these calculations for males and females separately.
Calculate the maternal mortality rate (per 100,000 live births).
Calculate the infant mortality rate (per 1,000 live births).
Calculate the crude birth rate (per 1,000 population).

When answering questions in your Week Two Assignment

Show calculations for solving problems using an equation editor, a clear photo, or scan of legible pen or pencil calculations either saved as an image and inserted into to your assignment document or attached as a .pdf file.
If doing the later, your .pdf image should be descriptively named using the following format: lastnamefirstinitialWeek1AssignmentQuestion.pdf. For example, Jane Smith would save her file as jsmithWeek2AssignmentQuestionA.pdf.
