Answer #1

Answer :

Is " b " that is in Blacks.

Because proportional mortality ratio formula is,

PMR = Mortality due to a specific cause during a time period / Mortality due to all causes during in the same time period × 100.

So here according to that formula

PMR in whites = 15533648/70663474 ×100

= 21.98

PMR In blacks = 1946813/9692906 ×100

= 20.08

PMR in others = 249591/1125108 ×100

= 22.18

So the proportional mortality ratio lowest is in blacks that is 20.08.

Answer is b.
