Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The crude death or mortality rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths in a year by the total population and multiplying by 1,000. This gives the number of deaths per thousand people, which is used to measure overall mortality in a population. The other options are not correct - adjusted mortality rate refers to a mortality rate that has been standardized for age, sex, or other factors, adjusted population level is not a commonly used term in mortality statistics, and actual growth rate refers to the rate of population growth.
