2Question: 11.A. Crude death for Australia is calculated as the ratio of total deaths across all agegroups to the total population across all age groups. The ratio has been multiplied by100,000 to obtain crude death ratefor(per 100,000) population across all age groups.The value of crude death rate for Australia was 187.56 (Table 1). The crude death ratefor (per 100,000) population of Brazil was 108.41 (Table 2). It was observed that,overall death due to Cancer (per 100,000 Population) in 2012 across all age groups inAustralia was (187.56/108.41) 1.73 times than that of Brazil.

3B. Age specific death ratios have been calculated in table 1 and table2 for each age group,both in percentage format and ‘per 100,000 Population’. These values were calculated as theratio of deaths in an age group to the total population in that age group and then multiplied by100,000. For example the death rate for Australia in the age group of 0-14 was calculated as(83/42,93,707)*100,000 = 1.93. C. The age-specific death rates for Australia and Brazil was graphed using bar-chart. Figure1and figure2 represents the trend in age specific death rates for Australia and Brazil in 2012.Exponential increase in cancer-death rate was witnessed with increase in age for Australia aswell for Brazil in 2012. Specific comparison for each age group revealed an interesting trend.For the age groups below 55 years of age, the age specific death rates for Australia weresignificantly lower compared to corresponding age group rates for Brazil. The reverse of thistrend was observed for age groups over 55 years of age (Melaku et al., 2018).0-1415-3940-4445-4950-5455-5960-6465-6970-7475+0.00200.00400.00600.00800.001000.001200.001400.001600.00Age-Specific Death Rates for Australia, 2012NoofDeathsFigure 1: Age specific death rates of Australia in 2012
