	Industry A	Industry B	Industry C (standard population)
Age (Years)	Population	Injuries	Age-specific injury rate	Expected Injuries	Population	Injuries	Age-specific injury rate	Expected Injuries	Population	Injuries
25-34	60,000	25			75,000	8			50,000	35
35-54	40,000	21			22,000	19			50,000	40

Using data from table above, the crude injury rates for industries A and B are 111.8 per 100,000 persons and 105.0 per 100,000 persons respectively. Adjusting for age using the direct method of adjustment, calculate and compare the overall adjusted injury rates between industries A and B. Use Industry C as the standard population.
