TOTAL 8365191 178781

Step 3: Find the Age-Standardised Mortality rate
= Total Expected Death / Total Population
= 178781 / 8365191
= 21.4 per 1000 population.

Standard Population Mortality Rate = 1.8 per 1000

Age Standardised Mortality Rate of study population= 21.4 per 1000
Crude Mortality rate of Study Population = 20.9 per 1000
