Question

The number of people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is high in Miami and the U.S. The Miami Department of Health reported that there were a total of 1.6 million cases as of May 2022. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the U.S. total for T2DM at 37 million cases. In June 2022, 200,000 Miami reported a new T2DM diagnosis. In the U.S., 1.5 million new cases were reported in this same month.

The total population of people living in Miami is 8.38 million. The total population of people living in the United States is 329.5 million people. Calculate the prevalence rate in the United States per thousand. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

To calculate the prevalence rate in the United States per thousand, we can use the formula:

Prevalence rate per thousand = (number of cases / total population) x 1000

From the given information, the number of cases of T2DM in the U.S. is 37 million, and the total population is 329.5 million.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Prevalence rate per thousand = (37,000,000 / 329,500,000) x 1000 Prevalence rate per thousand = 112.3

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get a prevalence rate of 112 per thousand in the U.S.

Therefore, the prevalence rate of T2DM in the United States per thousand is 112.

Answer 2

Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Prevalence rate = # cases in the sample / # of total people in the sample *100

When looking at the Prev. Rate for the U.S. you need to identify the info specified above in the question

from your paragraph # of cases in sample of US = 37 million

from your paragraph # of people in US = 329.5 million

meaning that Prev. Rate = 37 million/329.5 million * 100

--> at this point, you can drop the million because both numbers have the same 'base'

so you are left with 37/329.5 *100

which is equal to 0.11229135053 *100

which = 11.229135053

rounded to the nearest whole = 11
