Answer:
Empirical probability of deaths cause by stroke=0.004086
Empirical probability of deaths cause by kidney disease =0.001436
Death rate due to stroke is 4 times the death rate due to kidney disease.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the table attached in figure
No. of deaths cause by stroke = 128300
No. of deaths caused due t kidney disease = 45100
Total population = 314 x 10⁵
Formula to calculate empirical probability:
[tex]P(A)=\frac{No.\, of\,\, times\,\, event\,\, occurs}{Total\,\, population}\\[/tex]
Empirical probability of deaths cause by stroke:
[tex]P(A)=\frac{128300}{314\times 10^5}\\\\P(A)=0.004086[/tex]
Percentage of deaths cause by stroke =0.4%
Empirical probability of deaths cause by kidney disease:
[tex]P(B)=\frac{45100}{314\times 10^5}\\\\P(B)=0.001436[/tex]
Percentage of deaths cause by kidney disease =0.1%
Ratio between deaths caused to stoke to deaths caused by kidney disease is 4:1 which means death rate due to stroke is 4 times the death rate due to kidney disease.
