in 2003, the total population was 290,810,789, with 143,037,790 males and 147,773,499 females. there were 4,581,250 live births. calculate the cause - specific death rate (per 100,000) for females due to alzheimers disease. use the editor to format your answer. causes of death united states, 2003 total mortality from selected males and females cause of death all causes accidents malignant neoplasms alzheimers disease infant deaths maternal deaths males 1,201,964 70,532 287,990 18,335 15,902 na females 1,248,314 36,745 268,912 45,122 12,123 495 total 2,450,278 107,277 556,902 63,457 28,025 567

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for cause - specific death rate

The formula for cause - specific death rate (per 100,000) is $\text{Cause - specific death rate}=\frac{\text{Number of deaths due to a specific cause}}{\text{Total population}}\times100000$.

Step2: Identify the number of female deaths due to Alzheimer's disease and total female population

From the table, the number of female deaths due to Alzheimer's disease is 45122, and the total female population is 147773499.

Step3: Calculate the cause - specific death rate for females due to Alzheimer's disease

Substitute the values into the formula: $\text{Cause - specific death rate}=\frac{45122}{147773499}\times100000$.
First, calculate $\frac{45122}{147773499}\approx0.0003053$.
Then, $0.0003053\times100000 = 30.53$.

Answer:

30.53
