The total number of observed deaths in Country D is provided. Calculate the standardized mortality ratio for County D. Write the equations and the answers in the table below. Country E Mortality Country D Expected deaths rate (as 0-29 30-59 reference rate): From Question 1 60+ Total expected deaths (E) Total observed 33 n/a n/a deaths (O) n/a Standardized Mortality Ratio = O/E x 100 (%) (b) What is the interpretation of this Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR)?
