Select all correct statements related to Mortality Rates from Heart Disease (MRHD) from Questions 2.11 & 2.12 from page 10 Rosner Study Guide (Chapter 02) and the most and least populated states information given below: Year 1973 State Population State Population California 20,868,700 North Dakota 632,675 New York 18,177,100 Vermont 468,430 Texas 12,019,500 Wyoming 354,061 Florida 7,913,700 Alaska 330,543 Year 2017 State Population State Population California 39,536,700 North Dakota 755,793 Texas 28,304,600 Alaska 739,795 Florida 20,984,400 Vermont 623,657 New York 19,831,300 Wyoming 579,315 O Assuming the MRHD stayed the same for all 50 states from 1973 to 2017, overall MRHD of the two states, i.e., Florida and Alaska, increased from 404.03 per 100,000 to 408.23 per 100,000. O It is reasonable to assume that MRHD in 2017 will be higher than MRHD in 1973, so we predict California MRHD of 2017 will be higher than 417.4. O Since all states' population increased from 1973 to 2017, national mortality rate should be higher than 360.8 per 100,000 in 2017. ( With all 50 states' MRHD in 1973 provided in Rosner Study Guide and just using the above 8 states' populations information in 2017, we can calculate the national MRHD in 2017
