उत्तर
The death rate is calculated by dividing the number of individuals who died by the total population size during the given period.
Given:
The number of individuals who died = 8,
The total population size = 80,
Using the formula:
`"Death Rate" = "Number of deaths"/"Total population"`
`"Death Rate" = 8/80`
∴ Death Rate = 0.1
Thus, the death rate for the population during the said period is 0.1, meaning 10% of the population died that week.
