In 2017 in a place populated by 50 000 inhabitants there were the following numbers of injuries according to causes and deaths resulting from those injuries: The formula for the calculation of mortality rate per 100,000 resulting from violence is:
- A. 5/50 000 x 100 000 = 10.
- B. 25/50 000 x 100 000 = 50.
- C. 5/25 x 100 000 = 20 000.
- D. 5/40 x 100 000 = 12 500.
- E. 5/150 x 100 000 = 3 333.
Hint
A cause-specific mortality rate relates deaths from that cause to the whole population, not to the number of injured people.
