From the data in attached table, compute the following compute the following mortality rates as deaths per 1000 persons/yr: a. The crude mortality rates for Miami, Alaska, and the US b. Age-specific mortality rates for Miami, Alaska, and the U.S. c. The direct age-adjusted mortality rates for Miami and Alaska, using the age distribution of the U.S. for these calculations. 2. Your supervisor interrupts you at this point and needs an immediate overview on mortality in white females in Miami compared to Alaska in 1970. How would each of the above calculations be useful in your response?
