Question:

(15 points) Use the direct method of standardization to compute the crude mortality rate and age-adjusted mortality rate for North Carolina in 2000. Use the U.S. population (also in table) as your standardizing population.

Age (years)	NC population	NC deaths	NC Age-specific rate (per 10,000)	US population	US expected deaths per age group
0-34	3,984,283	3,740		139,328,990
35-54	2,372,270	8,094		82,826,479
55-64	723,712	8,035		24,274,684
65+	969,048	51,863		34,991,753
Total	8,049,313	71,732		281,421,906

1. (5) Fill in the missing values for the age-specific rates in North Carolina, and the expected deaths in the U.S. population using the North Carolina rates. You do not have to list in the tableyou can just report the numbers.
2. (5) What is the crude death rate for North Carolina in 2000 (report as per 10,000)?
3. (5) What is the age-adjusted death rate for North Carolina in 2000?
