Part 1
a. Compute the death rates for​ Whites, Blacks, and all residents in City A.
The death rate for Whites is 
  
enter your response here​%. The death rate for Blacks is 
  
enter your response here​%. The death rate for all residents is 
  
enter your response here​%.

To compute the death rates for Whites, Blacks, and all residents in City A, we use the following formula for death rate:

\[
\text{Death Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of TB Deaths}}{\text{Population}} \right) \times 100\%
\]

### 1. Death Rate for Whites in City A:

\[
\text{Death Rate for Whites} = \left( \frac{8500}{4672000} \right) \times 100\% \approx 0.182\%
\]

### 2. Death Rate for Blacks in City A:

\[
\text{Death Rate for Blacks} = \left( \frac{500}{98000} \right) \times 100\% \approx 0.510\%
\]

### 3. Death Rate for All Residents in City A:

\[
\text{Death Rate for All Residents} = \left( \frac{9000}{4770000} \right) \times 100\% \approx 0.189\%
\]

### Final Results:
- The death rate for Whites is approximately **0.182%**.
- The death rate for Blacks is approximately **0.510%**.
- The death rate for all residents is approximately **0.189%**.
