Question

the table shows the leading causes of death in a certain country in a recent year. the population of the country was 316 million. what is the relative frequency probability of death by heart disease during a single year? how much greater is the risk of death by heart disease than death by suicide?

\

$$\begin{tabular}{|l|c|} \\hline cause & deaths \\\\ \\hline heart disease & 596,900 \\\\ \\hline cancer & 575,500 \\\\ \\hline chronic respiratory diseases & 143,600 \\\\ \\hline stroke & 128,400 \\\\ \\hline accidents & 122,400 \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

\

$$\begin{tabular}{|l|c|} \\hline cause & deaths \\\\ \\hline alzheimers disease & 84,100 \\\\ \\hline diabetes & 73,600 \\\\ \\hline pneumonia/influenza & 53,700 \\\\ \\hline kidney disease & 45,700 \\\\ \\hline suicide & 38,900 \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

the relative frequency probability of death by heart disease during a single year is
(round to five decimal places as needed.)

the risk of death by heart disease is about times greater than risk by death of suicide.
(round to one decimal place as needed.)

Answer:

The relative frequency probability of death by heart disease during a single year is <blank>0.00189</blank>.
(Round to five decimal places as needed.)

The risk of death by heart disease is about <blank>15.3</blank> times greater than risk by death of suicide.
