QuestionUsing the graph, estimate the death rate for 60 - to 65 -year-olds. Assuming there were about 23.4 million 60 -to 65 -year-olds, how many people in this bracket could be expected to die in a year? U.S. Death Rate by Age (0 to 80 )
The estimated death rate for 60 - to 65 -year-year-olds is 11 deaths per 1000 people. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) Assuming that there were about 23.4 million 60 - to 65 -year-year-olds, □\square people of this age bracket could be expected to die in a year (Simplify your answer) an example Get more help - clearall

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The death rate for 60- to 65-year-olds is 11 deaths per 1000 people.
2. The population of 60- to 65-year-olds is approximately 23.4 million.

STEP 2

1. Convert the death rate to a proportion.
2. Calculate the expected number of deaths using the population size.

STEP 3

Convert the death rate from "per 1000 people" to a proportion:
Death rate=111000 \text{Death rate} = \frac{11}{1000}

STEP 4

Calculate the expected number of deaths by multiplying the death rate proportion by the population size:
Expected deaths=111000×23,400,000 \text{Expected deaths} = \frac{11}{1000} \times 23,400,000

STEP 5

Perform the multiplication to find the expected number of deaths:
Expected deaths=11×23,400=257,400 \text{Expected deaths} = 11 \times 23,400 = 257,400
The expected number of deaths in a year for 60- to 65-year-olds is:
257,400 \boxed{257,400}
