Calculate the age-adjusted death rate from disease X in cities A and B by the direct method,using the total of both cities as the standard population.What is the age-adjusted death rate from disease X for City B? Use the following table to answer the question. Number of Residents and Deaths From Disease X by Age Group in City A and City B

Age-Adjusted Death Rate
A death rate that has been statistically modified to eliminate the effect of different age distributions in different populations.
Direct Method
A technique used in epidemiology and statistics to adjust rates or measurements to a standard population, allowing for comparative analysis across different populations.
Standard Population
A hypothetical or actual population used as a uniform standard to allow for the comparison of disease incidence or other health-related statistics across different populations or times.
