The number of deaths per thousand persons in a year is known as ______.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. death rate.
- A death rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the total population, and then multiplying the result by a standard population size such as 100,000.
- A higher death rate for a population means that people in that group have an increased risk of dying from a particular disease.
