Question

. In the past year, a total of 300 deaths due to pregnancy conditions were reported as well as 3,500,000 live births. Calculate the maternal mortality rate for the year.

2. The state population in the past year was 20 million. Live births in the same year totaled 400,000. Infant deaths in that year were 5,000. Calculate the infant mortality rate for the year.

3. The state population for the year was 20 million. Live births in the same year totaled 324,600. Deaths were as follows: fetal deaths (3,244); neonatal deaths (2,200); postneonatal deaths (2,700); and infant deaths (4,900). Calculate the postneonatal mortality rate for the year.

4. The state population for the year was 20 million. Live births in the same year totaled 350,000. Deaths were as follows: fetal deaths (3,000); neonatal deaths (2,500); postneonatal deaths (2,500); and infant deaths (5,000). Calculate the perinatal mortality rate for the year.

5. In a given setting, live births totaled 350,000. Deaths were as follows: fetal (intermediate and late were 3,000); neonatal deaths (1,800); postneonatal deaths (1,600); and infant deaths (3,400). Calculate the fetal death rate.

6. A state has a midyear population of 25 million. A total of 135,000 new cases of gonorrhea were reported during that year. Calculate the incidence of gonorrhea in the state that year.

7. Read chapter 12 and define the following terms:

Distinguish clearly between:

• Ungrouped vs. grouped distribution

• Frequency vs. cumulative frequency

• Percentile rank vs. percentile score

8. Complete the following problems and show your calculation work:

• Self-Test 11-1 (p.223) - 11-10 (p.213)
