EXAMPLE 8.15
Problem:
In 2001, a total of 15,555 homicide deaths occurred among males and 4753 homicide
deaths occurred among females. The estimated 2001 mid-year populations for males and females
were 139,813,000 and 144,984,000, respectively. Calculate the homicide-related death rates for
males and for females.
