Entire quiz is worth 2 points. Point breakdown offered for each question in bold.
1. In a population of 534,533 White male roadside construction workers, 436 died from Lung Disease in 1980. Is this mortality experience from Lung Disease greater than, less than, or about the same as that which you would expect in White males of the same ages in the general population? Use Table 1 to answer the question. < .25pts >
2. Given that the crude death rate in White male roadside construction workers is 11 per 1000, what is the Indirect Adjusted Mortality Rate (IAR) of the White male roadside construction workers compared to the general population of White males? < .25pts >
