Answer 1

Question 10

Death rate = number of deaths $\div$ mid-year population $\times$ 100,000

                  = 15,555 $\div$ 139,813,000 $\times$ 100,000

                  = 11.1

11.1 deaths per 100,000. Option C is the correct answer.

Question 11

In 2001, 15,555 male homicides and 4,753 female homicides. Males have a higher homicide rate, so specific interventions should target males differently. Option B is the correct answer.
