| Age Group (yr) | Size | No of deaths | Size | No of deaths |
| All ages | 600,000 | 650 | 800,000 | 1,250 |

Solution
Summation of the total number of expected deaths Population A = 4885
Summation of the total number of Population A = 1200000
Age adjusted death rate for population A =(4885/1200000)*100000 =407.0833
Summation of the total number of expected deaths Population B = 12897.5
Summation of the total number of Population B = 1600000
Age adjusted death rate for population B =(12897.5/1600000)*100000 = 806.093
