ou wish to compare the rates of mortality in Town A to the state population. The age distribution of Town A is:
Age	No. people in age group	No. mortality cases in age group
0-24	2854	6
25-49	5974	20
50-69	6987	58
70+	2655	602

The age-specific mortality rate (per 1000) for the state is:
Age	Age-specific mortality rate
0-24	3.2
25-49	7.8
50-69	13.5
70+	27.9

Using the above data, the age-specific death rate for 0-24 year olds (per 1000) in Population A is closest to:

To calculate the age-specific death rate for 0-24 year olds in Town A, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Age-specific death rate} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of mortality cases in the age group}}{\text{Number of people in the age group}}\right) \times 1000
\]

Let's substitute the values given for the 0-24 age group:

- Number of mortality cases in the age group: \(6\)
- Number of people in the age group: \(2854\)

\[
\text{Age-specific death rate} = \left(\frac{6}{2854}\right) \times 1000
\]

Now, let's calculate it:

\[
\text{Age-specific death rate} = \left(\frac{6}{2854}\right) \times 1000 \approx 2.10 \text{ (per 1000)}
\]

So, the age-specific death rate for 0-24 year olds in Town A is approximately **2.10 per 1000**.

Would you like to compare this rate to the state’s rate or need further details?

Here are five relative questions:
1. How does the mortality rate in Town A for 0-24 year olds compare to the state's rate?
2. What is the age-specific death rate for the 25-49 age group in Town A?
3. How does Town A's overall mortality rate compare to the state?
4. What could be the potential reasons for differences in mortality rates between Town A and the state?
5. How would you calculate the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for Town A?

**Tip:** When comparing rates, always consider the population size and distribution, as smaller populations can have more variability in their rates.
